I assume you use some MS Windows platform to run sw_mi_import? I guess I had the same problem and at least SW support Germany wasn't quite able to help. The problem is that the sw_mi_load utility expects UK country settings. More precise it wants '.' as a decimal delimiter. With ', ' as a decimal point the tool creates a wrong SQL insert statement for writing to the MapInfo_MapCatalog table in the MapInfo schema. In this table there are some float types (spatialtype, db_x_ll, etc.) which cause the problem. Change your system settings to use '.' as a decimal point and it should work. May I call this a bug? Let me know whether this helped, please. Cheers, Carsten IVU Traffic Technologies AG Dipl.-Hyd.
