I come from a database background, and when a question isn't easily answered with Taginfo or Overpass Turbo I jump to my trusty local postgres database of UK data. I have a script that downloads the British Isles from Geofabrik, loads it with osm2pgsql, adds some useful indexes, and then removes Eire. Thereafter I can run SQL queries across the whole database to get 'UK-wide' results.
I think that this would be useful for people on hackdays and the like and would be a good service for OSMUK to provide, so have just added a new github repository https://github.com/osm-uk/osmuk2pgsql Friendly-worded Issues are welcome, as are code contributions. I'd like to put it on a Docker environment so that it works quickly-and-easily on Windows, Linux, Mac, whatever. Comments? Thoughts? Regards, Jez
