There is posibly something wrong with the schema.
I have just had the same problem. Removed the schema definition from the shp2pgsql command and then ran psql again and it loaded fine. However, it loaded into the public schema. So it must be to do with the schema.

No errors. The interesting thing to me is that it repeats the error when I pipe it and the error repeats for as many time as there are rows of data. What could this mean? Might there be something wrong with my schema? Shp2psql is supposed to create the table which it does: SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO UTF8; SET STANDARD_CONFORMING_STRINGS TO ON; BEGIN; CREATE TABLE "columbus"."pole_region" (gid serial PRIMARY KEY, "location_n" varchar(15), "height" float8, "class" varchar(11), "ownership" varchar(7), "owner" varchar(80), "plant_acct" varchar(31), "vintage_ye" float8, "inservice_" varchar(12), "pole_kind" varchar(31), "pole_type" varchar(24), "original_t" varchar(25), "design_sta" varchar(18), "facility_s" varchar(10), "ciac_statu" varchar(8), "ciac_date" varchar(12), "west_pole_" varchar(6)); SELECT AddGeometryColumn('columbus','pole_region','geom_3754','3754','MULTIPOLY GON',4); From: Denis Rouzaud [mailto:denis.rouz...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 10:52 AM To: PostGIS Users Discussion Cc: Paul Maddock Subject: Re: [postgis-users] Using shp2pgsql You could output shp2pgsql to a SQL file, then use it in psql to see at which line the error occurs.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to set datatypes? Thanks for the help, Paul Paul A.
