[postgis-users] Create spatial_ref_sys entry from srtext ?

[Arnaud Lesauvage]

Hi list !

I received a bunch of shapefiles with a .prj file.
I can't find the projection in the spatial_ref_sys table (it looks
quite strange, it says "IGNBelg_Lam72").
How can I insert a record for this projection in the
spatial_ref_sys table ?

Here is the .prj file content :
PROJCS["IGNBelg_Lam72",
    GEOGCS["Hayford 1924",
      DATUM["<custom>",
	  SPHEROID["International_1924",6378388.0,297.0]
	],
	PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
	UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]
    ],
    PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],
    PARAMETER["False_Easting",150000.013],
    PARAMETER["False_Northing",5400088.438],
    PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",4.367486666667],
    PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",49.83333389],
    PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",51.16666729],
    PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",1.0],
    PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",90.0],
    UNIT["Meter",1.0]
   ]


Thanks a lot !
