Hi,

I'm not sure if I missed some of the email on this thread (it is pretty
overwhelming!) but you didn't use the correct table name in your ogrinfo
query.  When you ran ogrinfo without the layer name you got "1: MGWI_TBLLOC
(Point)" as the result.  The "MGWI_TBLLOC" portion of this is the layer
name.  So you should use it, not TBLLOC as the layer name in your ogrinfo
query:

Good luck,
