Dara,

I think that it might have a problem with your file path. As I think the
previous respondent was indicating, it may work OK if you use a file
name without directory prefixes.

Subject: [postgis-users] pgsql2shp help

 

Greetings.  I am VERY new to all of this and teaching myself, but I am
attempting to convert one of the tables back to an ESRI shapefile using
the following:

 

pgsql2shp -f d:/shapefiles/dara -p 5432 -U dara -g the_geom postgis
invspp

 

[postgis (database) and invspp (table)]

 

I get an error stating "invalid option or command parameters".  I have
done many searches and used various examples, but can't seem to get it
to work.  Would anyone know what is wrong with the command?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

miigwech!
