<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>I have a number of shapefiles from various sources that have a mixture of polygons and multi-polygons or points nad multi-point that I have been trying to load into PostGis. I have tried using QGis / Spit, org2ogr and shp2pgsql. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Some of the files will load but thow a bunch or errors/warnings and others won't load at all. The files are part of the ArcGis data distribution as sdc files converted to shapefiles using the ESRI DDA application.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Is there a "proper method" or any method that will work to get the data registered in PostGis?</FONT></DIV>
