$ osm2pgsql --help osm2pgsql SVN version 0.65-14123 Usage: osm2pgsql [options] planet.osm osm2pgsql [options] planet.osm.{gz,bz2} osm2pgsql [options] file1.osm file2.osm file3.osm
This will import the data from the OSM file(s) into a PostgreSQL database suitable for use by the Mapnik renderer Options: -a|--append Add the OSM file into the database without removing existing data. -b|--bbox Apply a bounding box filter on the imported data Must be specified as: minlon,minlat,maxlon,maxlat e.g. --bbox -0.5,51.25,0.5,51.75 -c|--create Remove existing data from the database. This is the default if --append is not specified. -d|--database The name of the PostgreSQL database to connect to (default: gis). -l|--latlong Store data in degrees of latitude & longitude. -m|--merc Store data in proper spherical mercator (default) -M|--oldmerc Store data in the legacy OSM mercator format -E|--proj num Use projection EPSG:num -u|--utf8-sanitize Repair bad UTF8 input data (present in planet dumps prior to August 2007). Adds about 10% overhead. -p|--prefix Prefix for table names (default planet_osm) -s|--slim Store temporary data in the database. This greatly reduces the RAM usage but is much slower. -S|--style Location of the style file. Defaults to ./default.style -C|--cache Only for slim mode: Use upto this many MB for caching nodes Default is 800 -U|--username Postgresql user name. -W|--password Force password prompt. -H|--host Database server hostname or socket location. -P|--port Database server port. -e|--expire-tiles [min_zoom-]max_zoom Create a tile expiry list. -o|--expire-output filename Output filename for expired tiles list. -h|--help Help information. -v|--verbose Verbose output. Add -v to display supported projections. Use -E to access any espg projections (usually in /usr/share/proj/epsg) 2009/10/1 John Mitchell <mitchellj...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > Your documentation states for using osm2pqsql (listed below) : > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Before you can use osm2pqsql for the first time with the Spherical Mercator > projection (see below), you need to initialize configuration data for this > projection.
