ogc2ogr - GDAL

This program supports conversion of OGC simple features data between file formats. ogr2ogr is part of the GDAL

OGR Simple Features Library is a C++ open source library (and commandline tools) providing read (and sometimes write) access to a variety of vector file formats including ESRI Shapefiles, S-57, SDTS, PostGIS, Oracle Spatial, and Mapinfo mid/mif and TAB formats.

Usage:

Usage: ogr2ogr [-skipfailures] [-append] [-update] [-f format_name] [-select field_list] [-where restricted_where] [-sql <sql statement>] [--help-general] [-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax] [-preserve_fid] [-fid FID] [-a_srs srs_def] [-t_srs srs_def] [-s_srs srs_def] [[-dsco NAME=VALUE] ...] dst_datasource_name src_datasource_name [-lco NAME=VALUE] [-nln name] [-nlt type] [layer [layer ...]]

This program can be used to convert simple features data between file formats performing various operations during the process such as spatial or attribute selections, reducing the set of attributes, setting the output coordinate system or even reprojecting the features during translation.

-f format_name:

output file format name, some possible values are: -f "ESRI Shapefile" -f "TIGER" -f "MapInfo File" -f "GML" -f "PostgreSQL"
