Re: [postgis-users] Moving geometry from MySQL to PostGIS
You might also like to have a look at JEQL: http://tsusiatsoftware.net/jeql/main.html ETL between spatial databases is one intended use case for this product.

Since this is a one-time job, I think I will open two db handles in Perl and query one and insert in the other. That will work. Yet, surprising that either a need for this is not as common as I thought it might be, or it is sufficiently variable to preclude a readymade tool to do the job.

Yeah probably as quick as anything else.

Re: [postgis-users] Moving geometry from MySQL to PostGIS
Hello, Have a look on GDAL (compiled with PostgreSQL and Spatialite libs) For MySQL e.g http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_mysql.html or PostGIS http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_pg.html You can use OpenLite beta utility too http://www.gaia-gis.it/OpenLite/index.html Regards Thomas Gratier ___ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users

Puneet, Maybe try a GDAL instance compiled with MySQL support? David.
