[mapserver-users] OGR csv - no field names

[Schepers, Benjamin]

Hi Ian,

maybe creating a .vrt-File helps? This works as a preprocessor/transformer - the impact on performance for that kind of modification shouldn't be noticeable.
Mapserver can read those vrt-Files, so this could be a solution for you.
There is an example at the gdal-csv-driver documentation:

Betreff: [mapserver-users] OGR csv - no field names

Folks,

Can a csv file with no field names as the first row be used as an OGR source?

GDAL creates dummy field names, are these passed to mapserver?

OGRFeature(USA-Hilton):652
  field_1 (String) = -74.16958
  field_2 (String) =  40.73526
  field_3 (String) =  Penn Station

What do we need in the layer to make this work?

LABELITEM 'name' - this throws an error, 'field_3' does not seem to work either.
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION 'Stations.csv'

Thanks

Ian
