<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">The PostGIS documentation is a good starting point. You can use the command line shp2pgsql loader (<a href="http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-2.0/using_postgis_dbmanagement.html#shp2pgsql_usage" target="_blank">http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-2.0/using_postgis_dbmanagement.html#shp2pgsql_usage</a>)

Hi Guys,<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been working with lots of shapefiles and hosting them on the Geoserver (around 8k). Now the Geoserver is completely stalled and fetching the data is almost not possible. I have installed the complete OpenGeo Suite and till now have
not played with the PostGIS. I guess adding the shapefiles to the PostGIS will surely speed up the process.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is I am new to PostGIS, so can someone share some ideas where I should begin and how I can add the shapefiles to the PostGIS database.<span style="color:#888888"><br clear="all">
