[postgis-users] pgsql2shp postgres

[Obe, Regina]

Anhtin,

I think you asked before and no one responded to that part of your
question so in case you are still wondering

 
pgsql2shp is a command line tool so it has to be run from unix sh or
windows command shell not from within postgresql.

It is not really designed to be run from within the postgresql
environment like you would just write select statements etc.  I suppose
if you really wanted to run within postgresql then you could probably
create a procedure using plperl procedural language or something like
that to do it or you could run it using PgAgent (that comes packaged
with PgAdmin).

Ignore this if Mark answered your question; I just wasn't quite sure
from the way you phrased your question if that was what you were asking.

Thanks,
Regina

Hi Anhtin,

You're not far off in your example above: change mygisdb to the name of
your database. Have you tried reading the help file? See pgsql2shp -?
for more information.

Also, the postgres database is actually designed for internal usage
(similar to template0/template1) so you don't really want to be putting
any user data in there...


Kind regards,

Mark.
