[mapguide-users] Tool tips and Labeling

[Johann Muller]

That is strange, here is one that i just tried. The " symbols are just 
there because there is spaces in the filename.

/C:\street_data>shp2pgsql "Street 5m Buffer.shp" buffer > buffer.sql
Shapefile type: Polygon
Postgis type: MULTIPOLYGON[2]
/
Then the beginning of my buffer.sql:
/
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE "buffer" (gid serial PRIMARY KEY,
"prefix" varchar(2),
"name" varchar(50),
"type" varchar(15),
"suffix" varchar(2),
"full_name" varchar(50),
"alt_name" varchar(50),
"label" varchar(50),
"route" varchar(30),
"roadclass" varchar(10),
"category" varchar(20),
"province" varchar(30),
"municipal" varchar(50),
"cityname" varchar(30),
"oldcity" varchar(35),
"sub_left" varchar(35),
"sub_right" varchar(35),
"f_zlev" int2,
"t_zlev" int2,
"oneway" varchar(2),
"ramp_flag" varchar(1),
"br_flag" varchar(1),
"tn_flag" varchar(1),
"meters" numeric,
"speed_lim" int2);
SELECT AddGeometryColumn('','buffer','the_geom','-1','MULTIPOLYGON',2);/

Once you have the buffer.sql you need to run this script on your 
database to import the data.
The usage of the sh2sqlpgsql is as follows
shp2pgsql shape_file table_name > output_sql_file

Maybe try the following:
*shp2pgsql D:\roads.shp roads > d:\roads.sql
***Then go to the D: drive and the contents of the file roads.sql

Hope this helps.
