[postgis-users] Re: SRID for USA_Lambert_Conformal_Conic

[Dylan Beaudette]

Do you have any of the parameters associated with the Lambert
conformal conic projection? You will need these in order to add an
entry to the spatial_ref_sys table, with a custom SRID.

you can get more information on your original file with a tool like ogrinfo .

Cheers,
