<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Hi everybody,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I failed completely to restore my data from a PostgreSQL 8.0 with PostGIS 0.9 to PostgreSQL 8.1 with PostGIS 1.0. I have both versions of PosgreSQL running in Windows. I follow instructions in PostGIS docs from the PostgreSQL installation for upgrading. The postgis_restore.pl could create the dump list and also the dump ascii but then gives an error because it does not allow me to write down the password at the next step. As I know something about Perl I tried to modify the script without success.
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Additionally, I still have the results from the old shp2pgsql and so I tried to insert the data form psql using \i mysqlinsertionscript.sql. Tables are created ok, but geom columns results in meaningless characters where it is supossed to be something like "POINT (-
66.046532 -21.951437)" for example.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Can anybody help me?.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Regards,</font></div>
