Hi!
I'm trying to read in VPF data to my postgreSQL/PostGis database with ogr2ogr.exe in WinXP

The lht file is placed in c:\test\vmap\v0eur_5\vmaplv0\eurnasia
The database is called testgis

This is what I typed in on the command prompt:
ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname='testgis' user='cvfc' passwd='pwd'" gltp:\vrf\test\vmap\v0eur_5\vmaplv0\eurnasia -lco OVERWRITE=yes -nln polbndl_bnd 'polbndl at bnd(*)_line'

This is what I got:
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `gltp:\vrftest\vmap\v0eur_5\vmaplv0\eurnasia' with the following drivers.
  -> ESRI Shapefile
  -> MapInfo File
  -> UK .NTF
  -> SDTS
  -> TIGER
  -> S57
  -> DGN
  -> VRT
  -> REC
  -> Memory
  -> BNA
  -> CSV
  -> GML
  -> GPX
  -> KML
  -> GeoJSON
  -> GMT
  -> ODBC
  -> PGeo
  -> AVCBin

What have I missed?

Is it possible to load all featuretypes in a Postgis database at once?

Kind regards,
Paul
