Actually the SHP and DBF files are "linked" simply by the order of the
records in the files. So the SHX file isn't needed to read the data.
It is only required if you want to read the data through the index.

Hello all, is it normal that trying to convert a shape into sql with
shp2pgsql I have an error stating that i need the .shx index file? Is there
an option for importing having only the .shp file?
Thanks

The .shx file is the link between the geometry (.shp) and the
attributes (.dbf). These three are the minimum necessary components of
an ESRI Shapefile. If your .shx/.dbf are missing then you have any
incomplete Shapefile.
