[postgis-users] SRID utilities?

[Craig Miller]

Thanks Frank.  I just used pgAdmin and applied a few filters until I found
what I was looking for.  Worked like a charm under both Windows and Linux.

Craig,

If you are working on Windows (and have Microsoft Access) you can download
the EPSG .mdb file which includes lots of fancy search dialogs for finding
coordinate systems.  I generally just search on likely types of names in a
text editor in a text file dump of the spatial_ref_sys table or equivelent.

Best regards,
