[gdal-dev] PostgreSQL

[Ivan Price]

and you don't want to set the nulls to blank text before uploading ? (you could set them back once they'r up there, as well as perform the reprojection). i've never tried to use nulls in shapes before. can sqllite be used as an intermediatry instead ?

-i

They use a slightly older version of shapelib that doesnt quite work with null's.  If I ogr2ogr shapefile -> shapefile (to get it in the projection I want), then shp2pgsql will fail with fields that are null.

Which, I could to ask them to update, yes.  It was a 50/50.  Ask gdal or ask postgis.
