[postgis-users] TIGER/Line Shapefiles released

[Paragon Corporation]

Thanks I'll take a look.  I was thinking more for completeness and the
marginal effort that I think would be involved from my memory of what the
shp2pgsql C code looks like. I would change it myself, but I'm moderately
afraid of C code.

Yes, it would be ideal if it was handled by shp2pgsql but have you looked
at:

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=dbf2pgsql&
btnG=Search
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=dbf2psql&b
tnG=Search
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=dbf2sql&bt
nG=Search

some of these might be helpful.

Best regards,
