Hi All,

I understand from the archives that spatial_ref_sys is created from the Proj.4 data? Are there any scripts around to automate this process? (my digging around svn didn't find anything).

Rob,

GDAL/OGR includes a script called epsg_tr.py that makes it relatively easy
to translate from epsg codes to various formats.  You can product PROJ.4
init files like:

 epsg_tr.py -proj4 -skip -list ~/gdal/data/pcs.csv

Or SQL suitable for PostGIS using:

 epsg_tr.py -proj4 -skip -list ~/gdal/data/pcs.csv

You will likely want to do this for pcs.csv (all the projected coordinate
systems) and gcs.csv (all the geographic coordinate systems).  The .csv files
are part of the GDAL/OGR source distribution and are often installed in
/usr/local/share/gdal on linux/unix.

Best regards,
