2) I'm aware of the PostGIS tables but I'm pretty sure ogr2ogr isn't using them.

1) Sweet! That's what I was looking for. The proj was, obviousely, in proj format, not wkt, which is all I had. But gdalsrsinfo was able to create a proj definition which I added to /usr/share/proj/epsg, and then it ran.

Thank you much.

The GDAL/OGR tools use PROJ to do the reprojection, and PROJ knows about
projections, via its "epsg" file. On Unix systems this is something
like:  /usr/share/proj/epsg

Pop it open, and you'll see that the format is quite easy to follow.
Paste in a new pair of lines, and that SRS is now recognized by ogr2ogr.

PostGIS does not use the PROJ epsg file, but instead the spatial_ref_sys
DB table. This lists projections available to PostGIS, and if you do a
SELECT there you should find the rows easy to understand: srid (103782),
authority (EPSG), the SRS in both PROJ format and WKT format, ... Simply
insert a row here and PostGIS will support that SRS.


I hope that helps!

I know this isn't directly a postgis question, I'm kinda hoping someone
will know anyway.

I'm trying to import a File.gdb into postgis, but the projection its in
seems to be unknown.

I'm using ogr2ogr to do the conversion (and all my scripts are already
setup to use it, so I'd rather not change to shp2pgsql), and I'm getting
this error:

ERROR 6: EPSG PCS/GCS code 103782 not found in EPSG support files.  Is
this a valid EPSG coordinate system?

The data is for Steele MN, and this does seem to be a thing:

http://edndoc.esri.com/arcims/9.2/elements/pcs.htm#103782

so how can I get ogr2ogr (ogrinfo, testepsg, etc) to use it?

Thanks for your time,
