Dear list,
I can remember a former discussion about the column-nameings for the
different OGR-drivers. Currently GRASS cycles through 3 different
FID-namings (FID, ogc_fid, ogr_fid) and trys to link the attributes (see
$GRASSBASE/lib/vector/Vlib/fields.c:395)
I need to connect to a oracle-database with v.external where the
Feature-IDs are named different than the 3 tried columns. Consequently
v.extrenal fails.
Is there a chance that a user can specify the FID-column-name on
the command-line? This would be very handy, otherwise I need to add
another column to the oracle-tables which is named ether FID, ogc_fid or
ogr_fid.
What would be the best solution for this?
What do you think?
TIA
Stephan

The best solution is a new method in OGR which gives FID column name.
Frank already promissed to add it . Please fill OGR bug and try to
increase priority.

Thats what I was thinking about. Do you have the thread at hand? I
could not find it anywhere...
I will fill a bug in OGRs bugzilla then.

According to the former discussion with Frank W. I have added a
bug-report on the OGR-bugzilla[1].
Best regards
