[postgis-users] Tigerdata for AZ, AS and VI

[Ravi ada]

Thank you Steve. I downloaded AZ files again and loaded fine but others are
still the same problem. According to your explanation that should be ok.

I got the postgis database loaded for all states now. I have about 3 mil
addresses, may not all be normalized, which I am trying to batch geocode
them. I am using the example mentioned in this link.
http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/181-pgscript_intro.html

I am even using 100 as a batch, my update query is too slow. Its updating at
1500 per hour. That's too slow, I will never be able to finish them. 

I have 16GB RAM, and 7200 rpm disk partitioned to hold the postgres table
spaces. I am not sure what makes it run faster. Anybody has done so many
addresses before? What makes the performance go faster? I am attaching the
query and query plan here. www.pastie.org/3008194

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Ravi Ada

My download of Tiger has all the *addr* files for Arizona and I believe I
have accessed them all without a problem.


In general, the *addr* files are optional, and there are none for Guam, 
American Samoa and Virgin Islands.

Typically if the county or county equivalent does not have roads with 
address ranges in it, then it will not have any *addr* files. So it is 
possible that a county in Arizona in say the desert might not have any 
address ranges and therefore not have that file, but looking at the list 
of counties in Arizona it looks like they all have those files.
