Description
When exporting data from Postgis to a shapefile and one or more records have a NULL geometry it seems like QGIS crashes during the export. Attached is a sample SQL file where one record (the one with gid=450) has a NULL geometry.
To reproduce, create an empty Postgis database and a schema called "natur". Then import the file attached to this bug with "psql -U an -d yourdb -f oekoflaech.sql" --> add the file to QGIS --> right click on the layer and --> Save as shapefile --> QGIS crashes.
This is consistent on both Linux and Windows with a fairly recent SVN version.
History
#1 Updated by Frank Warmerdam - over 16 years ago
I don't have a postgis instance readily available, so I tried to reproduce this by opening a new vector layer from a .csv file (no geometries) and then doing "save to shapefile" from the layer entry in the layer list. This seemed to work ok though no actual records were written - presumably because none of them had geometry.
This leads me to wonder if the problem is specific to postgis or if I'm just approaching it wrong.

#3 Updated by Frank Warmerdam - over 16 years ago
So, the problem is triggered by passing something unexpected (like wkbNone or equivelent?) into createEmptyGeometry(). This method is substantially restructured in the gdalogr-capi branch and I'm not sure the problem will still exist there.
If that will be merged soon, I would suggest holding this ticket till after that merge.
