[postgis-users] Problem in Conversion from MapInfo to PostGIS usingogr2ogr

[Obe, Regina]

Did you verify that you do have a database called gisdb in your
PostGreSQL server and that your login account has rights to create
tables.  The way you are specifying it, it is going to try your local
postgres server with no password and use the account with same name as
what you are logged in as.
 
Also you aren't running the latest FWTools.  Might be worthwile to
upgrade.
 
FWIW I haven't had problems loading tab files into postgres from windows
using OGR2OGR and my command usually looks something like this.
 
ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=myhost user=myloginname dbname=mydbname
password=mypassword" mytabfile.tab

Hi, 
I am having problem loading Mapinfo Tab to PostGIS using ogr2ogr.

C:\Program Files\FWTools1.1.3>ogr2ogr -f postgresql PG:dbname=gisdb
D:\Temp\test.tab
ERROR 1: PQconnectdb failed.
could not create socket: Address family not supported (0x0000273F/10047)


ERROR 1: PostgreSQL driver doesn't currently support database creation.
Please create database with the `createdb' command.
postgresql driver failed to create PG:dbname=gisdb
