[Gdal-dev] ogr2ogr creating shapefile

[Frances Collier]

Hello all,

I initially posted this on the postgis mailing list but was informed that it
was better suited for this list. So, below is the problem I've been having.
I'll greatly appreciate any help I can get. Thank you -Frances

I have been trying to figure out how to create a shapefile using 
ogr2ogr. I haven't been able to find much on it through google and the 
user pages so I thought one of you might be able to help.

Here's my statement:

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" test "PG:dbname=mydb host=localhost 
user=postgres password=postgres" -sql "Select pop from getPop()"

When I click enter I get an Application Error that states the memory 
could not be "read". I'm sure it's in my syntax, but I can't figure it 
out. I would like to know if there are other ways to accomplish this as
well.

Thank you,
Frances Collier
