Hello,

I am new in the mailing list.

I want to use ogr2ogr to convert projection/datum of shape files to
a same SRS before insert them into postgres for serving by MapServer.

However ogr2ogr seems convert only projection even the shape file has .prj file.
I checked out that GDAL has no default parameters to convert datum.

I need the conversion before inserting to postgres with some reasons,
I mean, with translation from shape to shape.

Any suggestion to convert datum using ogr2ogr or other stand-alone program ?
- The ogr2ogr is included in FWTools 2.1.0.
- OS is windows xp.

Thanks,

Isao NASUNO
