Re: [HACKERS] US Census database (Tiger 2004FE) - 4.4G
I thought bout it, but it isn't the best program around, but it does work. My program also reformats numbers, i.e. long/lat become properly decimal-ed numerics, zips become integers, etc. The question is... Do you download the raw data and convert it into a database, or do you download the pre-formatted database? I would say the preformated database is easier to manage. There are hundreds of individual zips files, in each of those files 10 or so data files. > Mark Woodward wrote: >> It is 4.4G in space in a gzip package. >> >> I'll mail a DVD to two people who promise to host it for Hackers. > > Would it be easier to release the program you did to do > this conversion? > > > I use this pretty short (274 line) C program: > http://www.forensiclogic.com/tmp/tgr2sql.c > to convert the raw tiger files > from http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/index.html > into SQL statements that can be loaded by postgresql. > > The #define SQL line controls if it makes data > with INSERT statements or for COPY statements. > > ---(end of broadcast)--- > TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend > ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

I use this pretty short (274 line) C program: http://www.forensiclogic.com/tmp/tgr2sql.c to convert the raw tiger files from http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/index.html into SQL statements that can be loaded by postgresql. The #define SQL line controls if it makes data with INSERT statements or for COPY statements. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

You can send it to me, and ehpg will host it. I'll send you a private email with my info. Gavin On Aug 4, 2005, at 8:26 AM, Mark Woodward wrote: It is 4.4G in space in a gzip package.
