</div></div>You probably need to add "--config PG_LIST_ALL_TABLES YES" on the command line<br>
so that the table without geometry is correctly loaded (after it has been<br>
created). By default only registered spatial tables are recognized. See<br>
<a href="http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_pg_advanced.html" target="_blank">http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_pg_advanced.html</a><br>
The .gfs hack is likely unnecessary.<br>
