Hi Srinivasan,

Does the database "rebuild" exist? Please create it, e.g. using pgAdmin.
You will also have to run the script lwpostgis.sql in the new "rebuild" database
in order to have PostGIS support for that database.

In addition, your command is missing the host parameter. I assume that
the database is
running on the same host:

ogr2ogr -f "
PostgreSQL" "PG:dbname=rebuild user=user password=password
host=localhost" countyp020.shp
