Dear Shao,

I notice you have been asking a great many questions on this forum. That is 
great because it means you are interested in and want to learn about PostGIS.

However, I would advise you to also do a bit of searching and learning on your 
own, especially in basic database technology. Otherwise people might get tired 
of explaining everything...

You e.g. now state "In postgis, the term schema is prominent, but it is not 
well explained or used " – It is explained very well in may places, schema is a 
concept central to any database, and you can find loads on information, just a 
search on "database schema" finds useful info such as 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema

yours,
Barend Köbben

Hi,
Interesting.
Surely, the fundamental is how the data is stored in postgresql and how it is 
accessed.

If you come across more detailed articles, please let me know.

In postgis, the term schema is prominent, but it is not well explained or used.

Shao

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?
Regards,
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:

Best,
Jeff

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,
Tõnis

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?

    Regards,

    Shao
