Does your sql-statemnet produce a result when executed within psql?<br>
Are you sure there's no error message right above the usage information?<br>
Do you want to reproject to 27700? Then you should use -t_srs<br>

<div>Thanks Helen,</div>
<div>I've been trying to make it work. I don't have ogr2ogr.exe
somewhere in PostgreSQL folder. The only place where I have ogr2ogr.exe
is in FWTools folder, (other ones in OSGeo4W do not work, dll problems).</div>
<div>So I try this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>C:\Program Files\FWTools2.4.7\bin> ogr2ogr -a srs EPSG:27700
-f "ESRI Shapefile" file.shp PG:"dbname=postgis host=localhost
user=postgres password=postgres" -sql "SELECT AsBinary(the_geom) as
wkb_geometry FROM W_TQ2575_Buffer"</div>
<div>After this I do not get any error message, but I get the ogr2ogr
usage information (as if something I typed is wrong) and the file.shp
is not created (cannot be found anywhere).</div>
<div>Any help?<br>
</div>

[postgis-users] export polygon to shapefile problem<br>
</font><br>
Hi Thomas,<br>
<br>
I use the next expression to export data automatically in an script
from a table with polygons into a shape file:<br>
<br>
<br>
ogr2ogr -a_srs EPSG:23031 -f "ESRI Shapefile" file.shp
PG:"dbname=db_name host=the_host user=the_user password=the_password"
-sql "SELECT AsBinary(the_geometry_column) as wkb_geometry,
column2,column3,column4 etc. FROM table where conditions"<br>
<br>
I hope this will help you,<br>
Helen<br>
