Coverage to postgres

[Aaron Racicot]

Dave,
Check out OGR... it can read and write many formats including PostGIS.  

General OGR web site:
http://ogr.maptools.org/

To view info on your coverage use ogrinfo:
http://ogr.maptools.org/ogrinfo.html
ogrinfo -al coverage_name | more

Converting from one format to another use ogr2ogr:
http://ogr.maptools.org/ogr2ogr.html
ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:dbname=name table_name coverage_name layer_name

PostGIS Support:
http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_pg.html

Coverage Support:
http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_avc.html

Hope this gets you started

Aaron

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Coverage to postgres

Hello, all

I hava a shapefile that I have converted back to a coverage.  I also make
the
.e00 file for the coverage also.  Is there any application that works that
will
take either the coverage or the .e00 and create tables in postgres?
Basically I
needed more that just the polygons for mapserver so I wanted the coverage
features so that I can render the points and edges from a coverage.  The
polygons I have are all connected together by one or more edges so having
the
coverage gives me an easier way to get that connection data but I'm not sure
how to then read the data from the coverage into a database.

Thanks for the help
Dave
