[Gdal-dev] problem with ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL...

[Ethan Alpert]

Actually you need PGB:  NOT PG8: 

I just dumped and inserted data using the CVS version of ogr with
postgres 8.1.3 and postgis 1.1.1

Thom,

Also, you will have to modify ogr2ogr to pass the PG8: connection prefix
instead of PG:.  When I look at the old code I don't know how it ever
worked.  Basically because the PG: prefix was never being stripped off
the connect string before being passed to the PG driver, and the PG
driver doesn't like the PG: prefix.  Maybe in pre 8.x versions I would
ignore the prefix.

I've set up my PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL database and created a dataset
called "spatial". I have several shapefiles that I want to load into a
single layer. I found the instructions on the gdal website but when I
specify a layername at the end of the ogr2ogr command it quietly fails.
That
is, no messages of any kind either at the command line nor in the pgsql
logfile. If I don't specify a layername the command works just fine.

Are there known problems with this function? I'm using PostGIS 1.1.0 and
PostgreSQL 8.1.1 on RHEL3.

Thanks,
Thom
