[postgis-users] adding customized projection definitions to spatial_ref_sys_table

[christian.michels at eifelgeist.com]

Hello Together,

Since I am using customized projections I need to create my own projection definition in the spatial_ref_sys_table - but I do not really know how it works.

What I have is a ESRI prj file projection definition like:

PROJCS["Custom",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Stereographic"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",0],UNIT["Meter",1]] 

Looks a bit like the srtext - but how do I get the definition for the proj4text entry ?

Any help is very much appreciated !


Cheers

Chris
