[Gdal-dev] problem with ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL...

[Ethan Alpert]

Are you trying to load the shapefiles? If so post your command line.


Should be something like:

Ogr2ogr -f PostgresSQL "PG:dbname=<dbname>" your_shapefile.shp -nln
layer

There are many creation options -lco's you may want to use but it would
be helpful to know what command line you used as well as what version of
GDAL.

One important thing is to makesure you have granted your database user
permissions to modify the postgis geometry_columns table. But you'd get
an error if that happened.

Subject: [Gdal-dev] problem with ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL...

I've set up my PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL database and created a dataset
called "spatial". I have several shapefiles that I want to load into a
single layer. I found the instructions on the gdal website but when I
specify a layername at the end of the ogr2ogr command it quietly fails.
That
is, no messages of any kind either at the command line nor in the pgsql
logfile. If I don't specify a layername the command works just fine.

Are there known problems with this function? I'm using PostGIS 1.1.0 and
PostgreSQL 8.1.1 on RHEL3.

Thanks,
Thom
