[postgis-users] tiger question

[Thomas, Cord]

Joel:

Yes, the dbf file contains the data linked to the geometry.  I am unsure
about how shp2psql works; as an alternative, you can use ogr2ogr to load
data directly from tiger files to postgres doing some interesting
feature, field and attribute filtering.

Subject: [postgis-users] tiger question

I used ogr2ogr to convert some tiger files to ESRI Shapefile.  From
there, I used shp2pgsql to import the shapefiles into postgres.

I've noticed that the geometry, CompleteChain for example, has a dbf
file associated with it.  Is that data grabbed by shp2pgsql, or do I
need to import the dbf to another table?  If so, what's the best way
to get a dbf into postgres?
