[postgis-users] [PATCH] shp2pgsql recoding

[Steffen Macke]

Hello All,

the attached patch adds the ability to recode shapefiles when loading
them to PostGIS, e.g:

shp2pgsql -f WINDOWS-1256 -t UNICODE landmark landmark dcmms-devel

-f <encoding> (from) shapefile encoding
-t <encoding> (to) database encoding

Where the encoding is performed by the Postgresql convert() function.

Such recoding is a precondition e.g. to display Arabic map labels correctly.

Steffen
