I'm looking to set up a local mirror of the OSM data, so I can index and working out some new wonderful way of searching it. etc etc Anyway, What's the best way to set this up,
I was looking at taking the planet.osm possibly with diffs later and throwing it at a SAX parser and then into a database. I did speculate on using OSMOSIS but its too slow and I'm speculating on soundexing and metaphoning the data as its imported, I'm also looking at being able to build a tree (parent/child) structure for areas, But these are only ideas currently. Currently I'm importing planet.osm into a postgres database using osmosis so see how big it is, But its been going all night, and looks like its only done about 5% where as decompressing the planet takes about 2 hours, so I was expecting it done in kind of say 6? Any ideas/help would be most useful. Peter
