[postgis-users] Shape file importer. broken multipolygon

[Nicolas Gillet - MARKET-IP]

Hello Mark,

I made a mistake in my previous mail.
The postgis version I used was 1.4.1. I was confused with the postigis I
installed a month ago in another computer.
I downloaded the windows package one click installer and then use the stack
builder to install the postgis extension.

As you said that it was fixed, I upgraded my server and extensions with the
new version of the windows installer.

Now everything works fine and GUI importer behaves perfectly.

Thank you , you put me on the right way.

Best regards.

Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,

It looks as if this bug has already been fixed in r5195, and hence 
should be included from PostGIS 1.5.0 onwards. Where did you get your 
PostGIS binaries from?


HTH,

Mark.
