Hallo Sean,<br>
<br>
I tested it myself and this is because of the export function you
are using. If I am using pgsql2shp, this results in the following
prj:<br>
<br>
GEOGCS["Geographic Coordinate System",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["WGS
84",6378137,298.257223560493,AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],AUTHORITY[""Custom","0"]]<br>
<br>
And this would be exactly as you want (the custom authority entries
you may spare probably...). I don't know, if there is a way to tell
QGIS to export exactly the coordinate system from the data origin.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hello, thank you for your reply. Yes, essentially I have done this
exact SQL, but when I export it using quantum gis or FME, i get
the following projection parameters<br>
<br>
Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984<br>
Datum: D_WGS_1984<br>
Prime Meridian: Greenwich<br>
Angular Unit: Degree<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
whereas, I would like these parameters:<br>
<br>
Geographic Coordinate System: Geographic Coordinate System<br>
Datum: WGS84<br>
Prime Meridian: Greenwich<br>
Angular Unit: degree<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We need it to be like this and are using the following projection
to create it:<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="Segoe UI"><font size="2" face="Segoe UI">GEOGCS["Geographic
Coordinate
System",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["WGS84",6378137,298.257223560493],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]</font></font><br>
