[postgis-users] problem with shp2pgsql

[TECHER Jean David]

Hi Marie

In

shp2pgsql i5605r_p mydb > rail.sql

you forgot to add ".shp" for the name of your shapefile i5605r_p

and you forgot to explicit the name of the table "rail" you want to create

	do

		shp2pgsql i5605r_p.shp  rail mydb > rail.sql
		psql -d mydb  -f rail .sql

or

	shp2pgsql i5605r_p.shp  rail mydb | psql -d mydb
