Dave, Check out OGR... it can read and write many formats including PostGIS.
General OGR web site: http://ogr.maptools.org/ To view info on your coverage use ogrinfo: http://ogr.maptools.org/ogrinfo.html ogrinfo -al coverage_name | more Converting from one format to another use ogr2ogr: http://ogr.maptools.org/ogr2ogr.html ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:dbname=name table_name coverage_name layer_name PostGIS Support: http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_pg.html Coverage Support: http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_avc.html Hope this gets you started Aaron +----------------------------------------+ | Aaron Racicot | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | GIS Programmer | 503.467.0759 | +----------------------------------------+ | e c o t r u s t | | Jean Vollum Natural Capital Center | | 721 NW Ninth Avenue | | Suite 200 | | Portland, OR 97209 | | www.ecotrust.org | +----------------------------------------+ -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Hunt Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 11:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Coverage to postgres Hello, all I hava a shapefile that I have converted back to a coverage. I also make the .e00 file for the coverage also. Is there any application that works that will take either the coverage or the .e00 and create tables in postgres? Basically I needed more that just the polygons for mapserver so I wanted the coverage features so that I can render the points and edges from a coverage. The polygons I have are all connected together by one or more edges so having the coverage gives me an easier way to get that connection data but I'm not sure how to then read the data from the coverage into a database. Thanks for the help Dave
