[GRASS-user] ogrinfo vs v.in.ogr of GDB files

Indeed. I should have held out a little longer on canceling.

Sorry, not having a good day. This message below was not intended for GRASS.

However, the message that should have been here (to keep the thread from breaking)

ogrinfo filename.GDB says that some layers in this file are multi-polygon. However, when I use v.in.ogr on the same file they come in as individual polygons (which is what I want), not multi-ploygons (i.e. there are as many records in the database file as there are areas).

Id ogrinfo getting this wrong, or is v.in.ogr doing something with the cats to make this work? I'm happy with what it did, but it seems odd.

ogrinfo and v.in.ogr basically use the same functionality. v.in.ogr
assigns the same category value to all polygons within a
multi-polygon. If you get as many records in the database file as
there are areas, that would mean that each multi-polygon contains only
one polygon.
