<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Hello, I'm learning SQL/PostGIS and I need some help...<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><br>
I have a table (Table1) with different fields (but no geometry field). This table has already 35 rows of values.<br>
<br>
I imported a second Table to the same database in pgAdmin using pgShapeLoader. This second table has a geom field that I want to add to Table1. The idea is to convert a non-spatial table to spatial<br>
<br>
I created a geom field in Table 1 using AddColumn:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in"><span lang="CA" style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#0070C0">SELECT AddGeometryColumn('UDE_spatial','public','table1','geom',4326,'POINT',2);</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
Now, I'm trying to add the values from geom field in Table 2 to geom field in Table 1:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
<span lang="CA" style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#0070C0">INSERT INTO Table1(geom)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
<span lang="CA" style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#0070C0">SELECT geom</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
<span lang="CA" style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#0070C0">FROM Table2;</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify">
<span lang="CA" style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">There are 35 rows to add and a common field 'FabID'. My surprise is that instead of adding the values in the rows from 1 to 35, it starts in the row number 36. It seems like you only could use INSERT INTO...SELECT
when you want to add fields to a new table with no values added yet. I don't know how to write the sentence in the way I need. I tried adding...WHERE fabid BETWEEN 1 AND 35.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span lang="CA" style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">Well, that's probably a very simple question for most of you but I'm getting crazy...lol</span><o:p></o:p></p>
