<P><FONT size=2>> -----Original Message-----<BR>> From: postgis-users-bounces@postgis.refractions.net [<A href="mailto:postgis-users-">mailto:postgis-users-</A><BR>> bounces@postgis.refractions.net] On Behalf Of Chris Hermansen<BR>> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 12:50 PM<BR>> To: PostGIS Users Discussion<BR>> Subject: Re: [postgis-users] ESRI Shapes from database<BR>><BR>> If I understand correctly, you have written a C# program to read the<BR>> geodatabase on the SQL Server and you're trying to transform that into a<BR>> string you can pass into PostgreSQL. And your string is too big.<BR>><BR>> Given that you've got that far, why don't you just change your C#<BR>> program to write the data out to a text file (or several text files if<BR>> necessary) as SQL containing a CREATE statement, a bunch of INSERT<BR>> statements or a COPY statement (probably more efficient with such a big<BR>> table, but if your size limitation hampers you, you could fall back to<BR>> INSERTs or even a few COPY statements), and finally add a spatial index.<BR>><BR>> If you need a template for that, grab a shape file and use shp2pgsql to<BR>> generate a sample from which you can design your own output.<BR>><BR>> Then you can use psql to process that text file (those text files ).<BR>><BR>[Lee Keel]<BR>My only reason I haven't used the file approach is that I need this to be<BR>run nightly and I can't find a command line option to pass a password into<BR>psql for the input of the file. The user that I am having to use for this<BR>account requires a password and it is an act of congress (almost literally)<BR>to get trust accounts on this server that have just read access. I don't<BR>think there is anyway that they are going to let me have a trust account<BR>with write access. Am I missing something about the command line options<BR>for psql?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>-LK<BR>This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
