[postgis-users] Loading only polygon with shp2pgsql

[Matt Lynch]

Hi Randy,

I have been a little skimpy on describing what I am doing, so here goes.

I have an application which will allow users access to shape and raster
data for a defined region.  The region is specified by a polygon.  

I am now writing a web app to handle the administration side.  In the
web app I allow administrators to upload shape files which then are
loaded into a table.  My problem is that I don't want to trust the
administrators to not include attributes in the shape file.  I
anticipate the temptation to use existing shape files will be too great.
So I would like to somehow extract only the polygon.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi 

I would make your polygons a file without any attributes in
its table and than use join to attach your attributes from another
table. But i'm not sure if thats what you are looking for.

Cheers
Randy
