I've been trying to get a copy of the OSM data set into a postgres database so I can extract some statical info to help with hopefully one day search etc.
Broadly speaking I've been following the instructions at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Minutely_Mapnik except I'm skiping osm2psql and using osmisis to import the data directly. eg osmosis -q --read-change-interval --write-pgsql-change I would like to start with just part of the database due to space, and processor limitations and have preloaded the data using bzcat planet-latest.osm.bz2 | osmosis-0.31/bin/osmosis --read-xml-0.6 file="-" --log-progress --bb left=-11 right=2 top=63 bottom=49 --write-pgsql-dump enableBboxBuilder=yes enableLinestringBuilder=yes nodeLocationStoreType="TempFile" Is this doable what do I need to do to get the diff to import without error..... (If its possible at all) If its not I'll have to find a faster computer with more space which is not the simplest job in the world.... (250G is currently the largest single disk in the office and it looks like the postgres database for the whole planet is 500G+ currently (including indexes etc)) If any one knows how much space I would need that might help too.
