[postgis-users] PostGIS 2.0 Shapefile and DBF Loader

[Regina Obe]

Do you have shp2gpsql-gui installed on your system? That's why I was asking which distribution you are using, because many don't come with the shp2gpsql-gui executable. The PostGIS Shapefile Import/Export (shp2pgsql-gui (is the filename))

never had anything to do with pgAdmin3.  It followed the pgAdmin3 protocol for plugins was all, but runs perfectly fine without pgAdmin3.

 

If you don't have shp2pgsql-gui installed on your Mac, you can't use it even if you have pgAdmin3 installed.

Carson,

 

You'd need shp2pgsql-gui installed (and pgAdmin3 didn't come with that).  That always got packaged with the desktop distributions that included PostGIS.

 

All pgAdmin3 really helped you with was prefilling the connection info, which turned out to be more convenient than I thought.  It's amazing how lazy I've become.

 

If you can find where the shp2pgsql-gui binary is installed on your system you can launch it directly and then click the "View connection details" and fill in the information that pgAdmin3 would so conveniently fill in for you.

Should I just download pgAdmin 3?

I wonder if we could do some thing native in pgadmin4 with shapely

I am very new to this and need to upload shapefiles to pgAdmin 4 and my instructions say to use the Shapefile Loader.

Carson,

 

Do you compile your own PostGIS or you get from a distribution.  We still have shp2pgsql-gui in PostGIS code base, and I still ship it as part of the Windows EDB builds.

 

Unfortunately pgAdmin4 plugin architecture changed from pgAdmin3 days, so shp2gpsql-gui cannot work as a plugin under pgAdmin4.

 

I took it out of our upcoming PostGIS In Action book we are doing because of that and hoping we'll have a replacement for it soon that piggy backs on shp2pgsql commandline.

Hello,

 

I have a Macbook Pro and am using PGAdmin 4 and PostGIS. I cannot seem to find the PostGIS 2.0 Shapefile and DBF Loader. Can anyone help with this? Is there something else I need to download? Thanks.
