[gdal-dev] PG: does OGR2OGR set the SRID correctly ?

[Even Rouault]

Selon "Sebastian E. Ovide" <sebastian.ovide at gmail.com>:
Sebastian,

The option "-lco 27700" has no effect. The correct syntax would be something
like "-lco SRID=27700", but there's no such option, so don't loose your time
trying that ;-)

The SRID is set automatically by comparing the SRS of the source layer with what
exists in the spatial_ref_sys table (or the one you can set with the -a_srs
EPSG:27700 as suggested by Jorge). If there's a match, then the SRID from
spatial_ref_sys will be used. Otherwise the PG driver will add a new entry in
the spatial_ref_sys table (and the SRID number will not be equal to the EPSG
code). Make sure you've filled the spatial_ref_sys table
with the appropriate PostGIS .sql script. The '3' you get sounds like the
spatial_ref_sys table of this database was empty and that the PG driver added
new entries in it.
