I am following the Geoserver Getting Started documentation in order to create
an example PostGIS table.
I am working on a MacBook running Snow Leopard v10.6.8
Thanks to previous advice from the forum (Nicolas Ribot) I was able to create
the sample database 'nyc' based on the template
Hi,
The esri world work always in an unique DB schema.
So a single dataset is a group of tables in the same schema of the
other datasets.
I don't understand why you need to use distinct schemas to separate they.
However I think you could do it.
You must install postgis in the public schema
Hello,
I'm somewhat new to GIS and I have a problem that I thought appeared to be
simply using a wrong projection or datum, but it seems to be a bit more
subtle than that.
I have a table of cities in the US and I'm trying to find distances between
them. When I use a city that is in the northern
Hi Bruce,
I'm pretty new to GIS and PostGIS, but I'll try to offer an
idea. It appears that you might not have the postgis code
loaded. I'm going to guess that Nicholas' suggestion
involved setting up the template_postgis database so that
you might make postgis enabled databases without

Hi Mike and Nicolas,
The fact that Mike's two calculations resulted in the same value to 12
decimal places is more that a little fishy. I seem to remember a similar
issue coming up on this list sometime ago (roughly a year ago is my,
faulty, memory). The difference between southern and
Can anyone tell me if Postgis rasters can be displayed in OpenLayers?
We are trying to develop a web-gis stack (so far Postggresql - Postgis - PhP
-OpenLayers) on an external server. I'm wondering if we can have raster
functionality as well as display with postgis alone as the map
I don't think there is anything in OpenLayer able to speak directly with
PostGIS... You need something in between able to deliver tiles. If your php
code can do that... But why trying to reinvent a tile server other than
MapServer or GeoServer?

Thanks Dave, Pierre,
There were a couple of reasons for my qn:
For an earlier application, we used postgis as a map repository and
geoprocessor, php to interact dynamically with the map repository and perform
gis operations, R to create graphs, and google earth as the visual frontend.
I'll try to answer everyone's suggestions:
I didn't know that Yahoo's service was in 4326. That did change things up a
bit. And, yes, I did copy the value from Birmingham to Miami twice. Sorry
about that. . .
My customer was comparing my results to a different source but it seems
close to
So I wanted to check if with OpenLayers instead of Google Earth as the
client, I
could do the same and just have a sparse geospatial stack.
The answer is in your php server. You decide... Everything depends on what is
supported by the client. You had to develop a server for Google Earth.
Thank you again Pierre,
Vishal

Hi all,
I got a shapefile with a .prj file on it. I pasted the contents to
http://prj2epsg.org and got that this http://prj2epsg.org/epsg/5070
This srs does not seem to be in PostGIS so I am trying to add it. Now, the
first thing I tried was sending it to spatialreference and I got this
Try running MorphFromESRI on the srs before generating the proj4?

You mean:
srs.MorphFromESRI()
srs.ExportToProj4()
That still produce
srs.ExportToProj4()

On Mon,
Very odd. Well, the proj4text you want is:
+proj=aea +lon_0=-96 +lat_0=23 +lat_1=29.5 +lat_2=45.5 +datum=NAD83
But, why OGR cannot produce that? Don't know.

Thanks Paul,
Now, it is a pity there is no way to automate this to a decent level.
Is there nobody working on a generic shapefile importer that can accept any
sort of shapefile and try to load it using the .prj file?
I will keep trying :)
Javier.
