<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi again,<br><br>In your screencap your SRID seems to be set to zero. Even if the data displays in QGIS, it will not be in the correct place, unless you have this set correctly. So with the unique index/prikary key - you still probably won't see the data unless you zoom the that layer extent.<br><br>I have scribbled out a quick Linux script which uses the shp2pgsql command to load the shapefile, & which creates the unique index automatically... I'm not certain I got the SRID correct - so it will be worth checking.<br><br>HTH,<br><br> Brent Wood<br><br><br>#! /bin/bash<br># script to load Legislative_shape.zip & create unique index<br><br>SHP=Legislative_final_shapefile/Legislative_Final.shp<br><br># create new, empty Postgres database<br>dropdb test<br>createdb test<br><br># install postgis<br>psql -d test -c "create extension postgis;"<br><br>#

But still haven't figured out how to display
a newly created table. <br><br>The query I used to create the table:<br><div style="margin-left:40px;">
CREATE TABLE smaller_leg_final AS<br>SELECT ST_Buffer(geom,-500) AS geom, legislative_final.district<br>FROM legislative_final<br>WHERE area > 30;<br></div><br>I then discovered that I needed a unique ID, and did the following:<br>
<div style="margin-left:40px;">ALTER TABLE smaller_leg_final ADD COLUMN id serial not null;<br></div><br>This successfully populated the ID field with unique integers.<br><br>However when I go into QGIS, the Primary Key column offers no options. when I click into it, it just asks me to choose an SRID, which I believe I've already done. The table loads, but nothing displays. <br>
<br>I honestly feel a bit like a toddler given ice skates and placed on an icy rink. I'm toddling my way around, falling, getting back up, and then looking up and asking: why did I fall?<br><br>Once upon a time I was at the true cutting edge of GIS... I purchased MapInfo versions 1.1, and upgraded from there for many years. Moving into QGIS/Posgres/postGIS now, and well on the path to success, but .... not... quite... there.<br>
<br>Are there any QGIS users here who can help me to display my new table?<br><br>Do I need a different postgres statement? Is there a different field name expected? Maybe my query generated invalid shapes... But still, the geom field is displaying in the "Add PostGIS layers "Geometry column", but the Primary key column option doesn't allow me to select my 'id' field.<br>
