<P></P>
<P><B>In statement:</B><BR>INSERT INTO "geometry_columns" ("f_table_catalog", "f_table_schema", "f_table_name", "f_geometry_column", "coord_dimension", "srid", "type", "attrelid", "varattnum", "stats") VALUES (Latitude, public, 'Hotspots', circle, '45.5177', '1', polygon, '1', '1', '1')</P>
<P> </P>
<P>i have a column called latitude in my table hotspots.</P>
<P>is it necessary to enter values in each field??</P>
<P>in the coord_dimension field does i have to be x,y format or can it be any value or does it have to be the latitudes</P>
<P>im doing all this because i would like to use this command pgsql2shp...but first i need to fill the geometry column because otherwise i get the following error</P>
<P>-bash-2.05b$ pgsql2shp Montreal Hotspots <BR>Initializing... No geometry column found.<BR>The DBF file will be created but not the shx or shp files.<BR>Done.<BR>Dumping: XX [4 rows]</P>
