[postgis-users] again try to draw points

[Dylan Keon]

As others have stated, it's probably best to first create a shapefile 
using the shapelib tools.  Or if you have MapServer installed and 
configured with Perl/PHP/Python and dbf tools (e.g., configure PHP with 
DBF support), you can use MapScript to do the same thing.

One way to do it:

1) export your Excel table as a delimited text file
2) use shapelib (or MapScript) to parse the file and create a shapefile
3) import shapefile into PostgreSQL/PostGIS using shp2pgsql
