Can I export MapInfo "styleitem" info to PostGIS?

[Delfos, Jacob]

Hi List,

I'm in a situation where I have a huge amount of layers, and manually symbolising is not practical. All data is in MapInfo, which has the advantage that I can use "styleitem auto".
However, due to a number of reasons I'll probably have to convert the setup to PostGIS. The question:

Is it possible to carry the MapInfo style information across as an attribute, and point the styleitem to this attribute?

Ogrinfo does not reveal any style-information, so ogr2ogr can not bring it across. Is there a solution to this? It would be absolutely ideal to be able to store symbology in PostGIS.

Regards,

Jacob
