So, I tried doing a few things, but I haven't been able to get a build going with my changes. Here is what I did:

Firstly, I made the asKML function return geom_to_kml, instead of just geom_to_text, replicating the asText function. And in the call to geom_to_kml, I copied the functionality of asBinary, as you (Chuck) stated that there is stuff that I will need from asBinary if I am going from WKB to KML (which I am!). This was all fine, I built the project, and when executing asKML in the SQL statements, it returned WKB.

Afterwards, I added some of my code to try and convert WKB into KML. I didn't write any of the code for returning the value, I just added TRdisplay functions to print the results. The thing is, I'm still not sure where to actually grab the wkb... Based on the code I took a guess, but I could be wrong. This is what I added inside the geom_to_kml function:

/* Convert wkb into kml */
OGRErr eErr;
OGRGeometryH hGeom = NULL;
char *kml = NULL;
unsigned char *wkb_buffer = &dv_wkb.db_data;
if( eErr == OGRERR_NONE )
{
kml = OGR_G_ExportToKML( hGeom, "???I do not know what this is" );
OGR_G_DestroyGeometry( hGeom );
TRdisplay( "kml = %s\n", kml );
//CPLFree( kml );
}
else if( eErr == OGRERR_NOT_ENOUGH_DATA )
{
TRdisplay( "error2");
}
else if( eErr == OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_GEOMETRY_TYPE )
{
TRdisplay( "error2" );
}
else if( eErr == OGRERR_CORRUPT_DATA )
{
TRdisplay( "error3" );
};

After adding this, I did a build, and ran into a build error. Here it is:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I did include the library:

#include <ogr_api.h>

I may be missing a step through, maybe there is something I need to do for the build to use the libgdal...

I am also not sure If the following line is correct for accessing the binary data:

unsigned char *wkb_buffer = &dv_wkb.db_data;

wbk_buffer is suppose to be a pointer to a char, and I'm not sure that I am right here as to where I'm getting the binary data.

Thats where I'm at right now! Hopefully I'll get some help soon and I will make a bit more progress.
