not working well with FlatGeoBuf, but GDAL and sf does

[Michael Sumner]

doesn't complete in reasonable time

u <- "/vsicurl/https://flatgeobuf.septima.dk/population_areas.fgb"
library(lazysf)
x <- lazysf(u)

works fine:

u <- "/vsicurl/https://flatgeobuf.septima.dk/population_areas.fgb"

library(sf)
x <- read_sf(u, query = "SELECT * FROM SELECT LIMIT 1")

I don't understand why (without having looked yet), because it should literally be equivalent to writing that SQL ... maybe the table name is not escaping

[Michael Sumner]

it's because the boilerplate query is

sf::st_read(f, query = "SELECT * FROM \"SELECT\" AS "q01" WHERE (0 = 1)")

and that takes forever because it's not a real database

so can we fix that boilerplate?

sf::st_read(f, query = "SELECT * FROM \"SELECT\" AS \"q01\" LIMIT 0")

currently doing a hack to sub it out, but need to find out where the boilerplate is coming from
