Hi<br><br>I know this might sound premature but I am about to release an application that will allow you to import any type of spatail data into PostGIS, .kml, .tab, gml, .gpx. I just fininshed a particular section on Friday and am working on the connection and importing to PostGIS this week.<br>
<br>So please watch my blog <a href="http://sarelgis.blogspot.com/">http://sarelgis.blogspot.com/</a> under the open source link for release. This would be my first release and am planning for more.<br><br>Regards<br>Sarel<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
In addition to the other replies given to this thread you can also try:<br>
<br>
- use the 'SPIT' plugin in QGIS to bring your data into PostgreSQL<br>
- use the command line e.g.<br>
<br>
shp2pgsql -s 4326 -t tdwg_world_boundaries level4.dbf | psql gis<br>
<br>
However the second option above may not work well on windows where they<br>
only give you a broken cmd.exe shell environment.<br>
<br>
If you and others need more help, I'd be happy to run a 'bring your own<br>
machine' type workshop focussed on getting to grips with PostGIS a bit<br>
more and helping you to load all your own data.<br>
<br>
PostGIS really is the core of any FOSS based spatial data infrastructure<br>
and is well worth getting to grips with.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Tim<br>
