sorry, forgot to mention that

i have thousands of  shapfiles for air transport... the first one I
import creates the table, the second i append ...

here is the statements created when I imported the very first shapefile..

BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE "air_transport_area" (gid serial, "gdo_gid" int8, "tag"
varchar, "feat_type" varchar, "geom_type" varchar, "mapsheet" varchar,
"row_status" varchar, "lock_date" varchar(8), "selection_" varchar,
"version_nu" numeric, "version_da" varchar(8), "version_st" varchar,
"modified_b" varchar, "retired_da" varchar(8), "original_g" numeric,
"create_dat" varchar(8), "data_sourc" varchar, "est_revisi" varchar(8),
"source_ver" int8, "source_pro" int8, "source_pro__19" int8,
"source_con" varchar, "capture_in" int8, "descriptio" varchar);
SELECT
AddGeometryColumn('','air_transport_area','the_geom','-1','MULTIPOLYGON',4);
COPY "air_transport_area"
(gid,"gdo_gid","tag","feat_type","geom_type","mapsheet","row_status","lock_date","selection_","version_nu","version_da","version_st","modified_b","retired_da","original_g","create_dat","data_sourc","est_revisi","source_ver","source_pro","source_pro__19","source_con","capture_in","descriptio","the_geom")
FROM stdin;

I have this shapefile if you need it aswell.
