I think he means run it in psql so that you can observe what line the error occurs. You are unlikely to see the error before loading it in psql.

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','MULTIPOLYGON' ,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.
