[postgis-users] PostgreSQL + PostGIS 2.1.0 Tiger Geocodingnotworking

[Paragon Corporation]

René,
 
Did you do this step?
http://postgis.net/docs/manual-2.1/Loader_Generate_Nation_Script.html
 
That is one of the new steps requires for tiger geocoder that ships with
2.1.
 
It's just the loader scripts.  You can just correct in the tables you have
already.  No need to reinstall.
 
The table to change is tiger.loader_platform
 
You can update the sh  one
 
The unzip_command text should be:
 
rm -f ${TMPDIR}/*.*
${PSQL} -c "DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS ${staging_schema} CASCADE;"
${PSQL} -c "CREATE SCHEMA ${staging_schema};"
for z in *.zip; do $UNZIPTOOL -o -d $TMPDIR $z; done
for z in */*.zip; do $UNZIPTOOL -o -d $TMPDIR $z; done
cd $TMPDIR;
 
As long as you have tiger_data schema already that shoule be sufficient.
 
Also if you want to get the new Tiger 2013 data (that just came out) instead
of 2012

Change the tiger.loader_variables table -- change existing record to
tiger_year = 2013 and website_root to
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2013

Hi Regina, 

Thanks for the quick the reply — and thanks for all your work on PostGIS, I
use it every day in various applications and have come to really appreciate
it. Thanks!

Regarding the loader script bug, is there a way I munge the generated bash
script in order to make it work? From PostGIS 2.1.0, here's the problem area
I think you describe:


  | ...
  | ${PSQL} -c "DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS tiger_staging CASCADE;"
  | ${PSQL} -c "CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS tiger_staging;"
  | ${PSQL} -c "CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS tiger_data;"
  | ...


In my attempt, I had actually removed the IF NOT EXISTS, but still the
result doesn't work.


${PSQL} -c "DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS tiger_staging CASCADE;"
${PSQL} -c "CREATE SCHEMA tiger_staging;"
${PSQL} -c "CREATE SCHEMA tiger_data;"


When you say use 2.1.1 or 2.2.0dev, are you just referring to the generated
loader script? I would compile 2.1.1 but I'm somewhat committed to MacPorts
to keep my life sane, and the maintainer for PostGIS kindly revved the port
to 2.1.0 per my request — I'd rather not bother him again if I can make
2.1.0 work.

There was a bug in the 2.1.0 one that made it not work in  PostgresQL 9.2
and below since I accidentaly used 9.3 features.
 
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/2441  
 
and I describe a bit here
http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/317-CREATE-SCHEMA-IF-NOT-EXIS
TS-in-9.3-and-tiger-geocoder.html
 
 
Sorry about that. Can you try the one packaged in the latest 2.1.1.  If you
can't build on your own, its packaged in the latest windows 2.1.1dev (just
copy the postgis_tiger_geocoder .* files in share/extension folder)
 
 http://postgis.net/windows_downloads (you might need to get rid of the
windows line breaks)
 
If you want you can even use the 2.2.0dev one which does Tiger 2013 (data
just came out a couple of days ago) instead of Tiger 2012.  I've been using
it the 2013 for MA and so far so good but need to stress test some more. 
 
Hope that helps,
Regina

Did you add the fuzzy string match extension?

So
 I've done a clean/fresh install of PostgreSQL 9.2 and PostGIS 2.1.0 via
MacPorts (thanks Vincent). Installed the requisite extensions:


CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder;


Tested the basics: 


gc5=# SELECT na.address, na.streetname,na.streettypeabbrev, na.zip
gc5-# FROM normalize_address('1 Devonshire Place, Boston, MA 02109') AS na;
 address | streetname | streettypeabbrev |  zip  
---------+------------+------------------+-------
       1 | Devonshire | Pl               | 02109
(1 row)


Then, to get the data (Tiger 2012), generated the loader script and ran it:



gc5=# SELECT loader_generate_script(ARRAY['MA','RI'], 'sh') AS result;


Bash script downloaded and added Massachusetts and Rhode Island without
complaint, also ran:


SELECT install_missing_indexes();


But when I try to geocode or reverse geocode, I get nothing:


gc5=# SELECT g.rating, ST_X(g.geomout) As lon, ST_Y(g.geomout) As lat, 
        (addy).address As stno, (addy).streetname As street, 
        (addy).streettypeabbrev As styp, (addy).location As city,
(addy).stateabbrev As st,(addy).zip 
        FROM geocode('75 State Street, Boston MA 02109') As g;
 rating | lon | lat | stno | street | styp | city | st | zip 
--------+-----+-----+------+--------+------+------+----+-----


There's clearly a lot of data in my geocoder DB:


 gc5         | postgres | UTF8     | en_CA.UTF-8 | en_CA.UTF-8 |
| 1194 MB | pg_default | 


But I can't get anything from it
 My previous 1.5.x PostGIS tiger geocoder
was working fine
 I must be missing something obvious. Can anyone point it
out for me?
