[postgis-users] Shp2pgsql - ability to generate a linestring table

[Stewart Nimmo]

When running "shp2pgsql" on a polyline shape file,  the resulting table is
always a geometry type "multilinestring".  I am expecting and require a
geometry type of  "linestring" . 

Is "multilinestring" the default geometry type for polyline shape files
being converted with shp2pgsql.

Regards

Stewart
