CSV driver: Date, Time, DateTime added - patch

[neteler]

Frank,

I have extended the OGR-CSV driver to support also Date, Time, DateTime? via .csvt file.

cat RR_LOCID000140.csv
SOUID,DATE,RR,Q_RR
...
916090,2007-05-31,0,0

cat RR_LOCID000140.csvt
"Integer","Date","Real","Integer"

ogrinfo  RR_LOCID000140.csv  RR_LOCID000140
...
OGRFeature(RR_LOCID000140):20605
  SOUID (Integer) = 916090
  DATE (Date) = 2007/05/31
  RR (Real) = 0
  Q_RR (Integer) = 0

Works. Also tested with db.in.ogr of GRASS (which calls v.in.ogr).

The rather trivial patch attached including extended documentation.

Best, Markus

Mateusz,

Could you integrate this in trunk, and add some appropriate test suite tests for the new features in gdalautotest/ogr/ogr_csv.py?

[neteler]

Hi Mateusz,

would you mind to apply this path? Sorry for bothering... If you need any test data, please let me know.

thanks, Markus
