Sounds to me like a column in the table was defined as a double and you
tried inserting values of an incompatible type (maybe string or the
like).

Cheers,
Martin.

Re: [postgis-users] using pgShapeLoader to upload csv file

Assuming you can export them in a tab delimited or CSV format, you can use the 
"copy" command to import the data into postgresql.

[postgis-users] using pgShapeLoader to upload csv file

2011-08-08 Thread Robert Buckley
Hi,

What is the easiest way  to load a table into posgresql?

Usually I would just upload a shapefile into the database, but for a specific 
project I am required to build a relational database system with 1 shapefile 
and 
lots of other tables linked with Foreign Keys. 

I have never done this before for a Postgis project and was wondering on the 
best way to do this.


The tables and shapes have been already created in an ESRI personal geodatabase.

thanks for any help,
