[postgis-users] Problem with shp2pgsql (MULTILINESTRING 8260 as 1 vertices, set to NULL)

strk strk at keybit.net

The messages (althought written in non correct english) says
that some of the multilinestrings has just one vertex, being illegal
MultiLineStrings. The number shown is the shape number, and it seems
to be just some of the shapes to have this problem. You should have
no problems in feeding tm_26_set_02.sql to pgsql, you will just have
some NULL records in the resulting table.

Let me know if this is not the case.

--strk;

message is sen
