[postgis-users] tiger data pain

[Andy Colson]

I downloaded PostGis 2 to play around with, and tried out the tiger stuff.  I have to say, that's kinda painful.

The doc says: add "set -e -u", which causes as many problems as it might catch.
Editing the .sql was a little confusing, and the resulting .sh file is not really re-startable.

Would anyone be interested in a perl script to simplify things?  I'm thinking of replacing the stored proc that generates a script, all of which you have to edit, with a perl script (which would have a config to edit).

Or... maybe other's have not had the problems I had?  I don't really have a use for this right now, just playing around.  If anyone had some requests, I might be interested in working on it.
