[postgis-users] shp2psql problem

[Matt Lynch]

Hi Javier,

This might be too simple, but just in case ...

Have you setup PostGIS support on your database?  This involves

psql -U postgres -d myGISdb -f postgis.sql
psql -U postgres -d myGISdb -f spatial_ref_sys.sql

Regards,

Matt

Hi all;
I've seen that other problems related to shp2psql have benn posted
previously 
to the list; but it didn't help me.

I've an absolute beginner with postgis, and I've just installed it.

I've got a shapefile (ESRI Arcmap8.1) that would like to import into 
Postgres. So, when I saw this program I was absolutely happy. I've run
it and it appears to run correctly as no error message appears, but, 
eventually, when I look up the new table in the database it doesn't
appears. So, it is simply not created.

The shapefile is rather big, (about 5000 polygons). 

What could be the source of the problem?


Best regards

Javier
