[postgis-users] Problem in migrating shapefile to postgis

I think I may have figured out the problem.  I tried the file.  It doesn't load into a UTF-8 encoded database.  You need to use the -W switch if you have a UTF-8 encoded database.

 

Try

 

shp2pgsql -g the_geom -s 32648 -I  -W "latin1" LopGiaoThong LopGiaoThong | psql -U postgres -d postgis

 

Hope that helps,

Regina

Hi, everyone
 Can you help me load LopGiaoThong.shp vao trong postgis? I have problem
 with SRID or something else i don't know.
 I do it in this way: shp2pgsql -i -D -s LopGiaoThong.shp LopGiaoThong >
 LopGiaoThong.sql
                            psql -d postgis -U postgres -f LopGiaoThong.sql
 I do not know the parameter -s: what value it is to load LopGiaoThong.shp
 Can you show mw how to find the value of -s parameter (SRID) of my data or
 how to load my data to postgis?
 Thank you very much!


Re: I still can not load LopGiaoThong.shp to postgis. Even though, I tried with -s parameter: 32648, 4326, 3405. I really can not find the correct SRID's value of my data. I really appreciated if anyone can help me do it.
Thanks!
