<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to upload the tiger2007fe shape files into
postgis 1.3.3 on postgresql 8.3 on my windows 2003 server.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>These are the commands in my powershell script:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>shp2pgsql C:
\TigerTest\01_ALABAMA\01019_Cherokee\fe_2007_01019_addr public.01019_addr
> C: \TigerTest\01_ALABAMA\01019_Cherokee\fe_2007_01019_addr.sql<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>psql -d tiger2007fe_test -f C:
\TigerTest\01_ALABAMA\01019_Cherokee\fe_2007_01019_addr.sql <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There are two issues: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>the
sql command file doesn’t pick up the table name from the shp2pgsql
command line. This should be ‘public.01019_addr’ but shows in the
file as ‘public.””’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I don’t have a clue about #1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>the
psql command wants to prompt for the password. I can use the –U option
for the username, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to provide the
password for the named user.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>#2 I kind of understand because I
know if I logged onto the server as postgres, I could execute the script.
However, there are a number of reasons I don’t like this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>So should I be using some other
options for the shp2pgsql that would not generate a sql command script that I
have to execute?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>The ogr commands allowed me to
provide the necessary values with the ‘PG:’ option this way:
“dbname=tiger2006se_test user=postgres password=secret”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>Is there something like this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>Thanks very much,<o:p></o:p></p>
