[Qgis-developer] unknown geometry type of GEOMETRY in postgis layer

[nitin quick]

yes, i tried that also but it didn't worked until and  without adding option
-skipfailures.
Now command
ogr2ogr -nlt POINT -skipfailures  -f PostgreSQL PG:dbname=mydb
/home/prince/mainfo_dgn/44g1
works.
but this way i can produce shape file and correspondent entry in Postgis for
element of type POINT only. For geometry type LINESTRING , POLYGOM,
MULTILINE, MULTIPOLYGON etc i have run this command separately which
resulted in several shape files and several table creation in databse for
same map.
Is this way i have to live with it. I also don't know whether dgn file i am
holding is of version 7 or 8. Also while using this qgis ( i havenot noiced
exact steps) a warning ,multiple times, occurs which results in seg fault
sometimes.
" Warning: This code (file qgsVectorLayer.cpp, line 1260) should never be
reached, problem may occur."

thanks
quick nitin
