No! In osm2pgsql tags are always assumed to be text which is of course what they actually are. The "z_order int4" and and "way_area real" are calculated during import so the do not count. I did however add support for "real" columns in february in order to be able to import width and ele tags as floating point values. This currently involves a lot of hard coded heuristics! Here is what it do: * assume "," to be a decimal mark which need to be replaced by "." * take the leading number if there is more than one or additional text * average if it's a-b * assume values to be in meters thus ignore any unit but feet * convert feet to meters if "ft" is given as unit (1 foot = 0.3048 meters) * reject anything else Regards Sven -- "Remember, democracy never lasts long.
