[Cort D]

Please can somebody tell me how to import my ESRI shapefiles and attribute
tables into PostGIS.
I have been trying to use the shp2pgsql function but its either i am not
using it correctly or its just not working for me.

Please can someone out there help me. I am very new to PostGIS application.
