[postgis-users] How to Spatialize DB on PostGIS?

[Endah Kristi]

Hi Richard,
 
I mean that I've tried to upload that using Easy Loader > ODBC > Map Catalog also created > Upload into PostGIS -- but there are warning messages for polyline & polygon objects that they become points (please find the attachment). When I downloaded it in MapInfo for the data that I've uploaded into PostGIS, the polyline & polygon objects become points. There is no problem with the point object. There are problems for graphical objects, no problem to edit the attribute data (link to PostGIS). So I think, does it need we should do spatialize db in PostGIS? I don't know how to do that. Or maybe there is any setting that I should do in MIPro or PostGIS? Please advice.
 
Regards,
Kristi

Dear All,
 
Apologies first, I'm not familiar with PostGIS/PostgreSQL. Could you please explain to me how to spatialize the database on PostGIS? I've installed PostGIS v1.3 and PostgreSQL v8.3.1 for MapInfo Pro v10, but I can't upload .TAB files to PostGIS successfully (for polygon & polyline objects -- it become points when uploaded), whereas MIPro v10 supports read/write for PostGIS. I think it needs spatialize db first. Appreciate if anyone here can advise me how to do that on PostGIS, the steps and its script. Thanks in advance! =)


Use "EasyLoader" in the MapInfo Tools > Tool Manager menu.
Click "ODBC" button and select or create an ODBC connection to your PostGIS db
Click "Map Catalog" which will create mapinfo.mapinfo_mapcatalog in your PostGIS db
Select "Source Tables"
Click "Upload"
