[postgis-users] multipolygons to polygons

Hi,
I'm trying to run shp2pgsql with a polygon file but I'm getting the
folloing error:
"We have a multipolygon with 2 parts, can't use -S switch!"

I know there is:
-Multipolygons with holes.
-Multipolygons with 2 external rings (originally one polygon cut into 2
polygons).

Is anything of this the reason why I cant use the -S switch?

Is there a way around this to change the multipolygons to polygons?

Kind regards,
Paul
