[postgis-users] issue with pgsql2shp

[John Cole]

On 1) if I run the query in pgAdmin III Query it returns 596 rows, so there
is data there.  Any query that has a 'like' in the where clause seems to
cause the error.

For example:

select the_geom from tgr_county2000 where county = 'Madison'

works fine

but

select the_geom from tgr_county2000 where county like 'Mad%'

does not.

I have now tried segmentize on a line geometry and it does seem to work (at
least it increases the value returned by numpoints())

Thanks,

John

Oh, sorry, I'm reading the error message better now (did you?).
It says that your query returns an EMPTY table.
Try your queries manually before feeding them to pgsql2shp.

It should. feel free to file a bug report if it doesn't.

Did you try ? 

--strk;
