Shao -
If you want to visualize spatial data in a Postgres/PostGIS database
using MapInfo as the viewing program you have to:
* Create a schema / table in : *MAPINFO.MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG. *
* Populate it with information about your spatial tables in the
Postgres database. It contains approximately the same information
that's stored in the normal *public.geometry_columns* view plus some
extra MapInfo specific information.
MapInfo uses this table to get information about the different spatial
tables in the database, so it has to be present and populated with the
correct information.
If you use OGR2OGR to upload spatial data to Postgres, OGR2OGR
*won't***create or populate the *MAPINFO.MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG* meta-table
for you. However, the Easyloader upload program is capable of that.
Finally, you can create and populate the *MAPINFO.MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG*
table manually.
You can download the Easyloader program from the Pitney Bowes MapInfo
Web site (Free download)
I suggest you read (and understand) the following article from the
MapInfo knowledge base:

Hi, Jeff,
Thanks. We can upload and visualise in qgis.
But, I wonder where upload can include metadata.
If you use qgis, you can use the data, but when you click on
properties, you cannot find metadata.
How to upload metadata into postgis/postgresql?

Shao

Hi Shao,
I generally use QGIS to visualize postgis / postgresql loads - but
mostly because it's free. But if you're using MapInfo it seems the
EasyLoader may be the way forward - there are some posts about
this over on gis.stackexchange.com <http://gis.stackexchange.com>,
including this guide:

Hi, Tonis,
We will bear that in mind.
A friend of mine says that the problem is not being able to
visualize what got into postgre.

Hi,
one option would be to use ogr2ogr. And I can't remember
exactly but I think MapInfo's EasyLoader could do that
very fine aswell.
All the best,

Not that I know of, but you can use ogr or QGIS for this.
Cheers.

Hi,
Is there a MapInfo to PostGIS/PostgreSQL loader?
For instance, use
psql.exe or something like that?
