Hallo Sean,
I tested it myself and this is because of the export function you are
using. If I am using pgsql2shp, this results in the following prj:
GEOGCS["Geographic Coordinate System",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["WGS
84",6378137,298.257223560493,AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,AUTHORITY["Custom","0"]],AUTHORITY[""Custom","0"]]
And this would be exactly as you want (the custom authority entries you
may spare probably...). I don't know, if there is a way to tell QGIS to
export exactly the coordinate system from the data origin.
Regards,
Birgit.

Hello, thank you for your reply. Yes, essentially I have done this
exact SQL, but when I export it using quantum gis or FME, i get the
following projection parameters
Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984
Datum: D_WGS_1984
Prime Meridian: Greenwich
Angular Unit: Degree
whereas, I would like these parameters:
Geographic Coordinate System: Geographic Coordinate System
Datum: WGS84
Prime Meridian: Greenwich
Angular Unit: degree
We need it to be like this and are using the following projection to
create it:
GEOGCS["Geographic Coordinate
System",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["WGS84",6378137,298.257223560493],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]
