Hello everyone, I'm trying to setup the TIGER geocoder but am new at this sort of thing:
I've already finished the bit where i run import/load_tiger.sh successfully. I'm using the 2006se TIGER line data. I now have all the PostGIS (on Postgres 8.3) and two tables Landmarks and CompleteChain (with a whopping 66 million records!/ 25gb footprint!) that took 28 hours to install. Now it says to import the .shp files... Only question is, what shp files? Here is the listing of the typical archive: Archive: TGR02164.ZIP inflating: TGR02164.RT1 inflating: TGR02164.RT2 inflating: TGR02164.RT4 inflating: TGR02164.RT5 inflating: TGR02164.RT6 inflating: TGR02164.RT7 inflating: TGR02164.RT8 inflating: TGR02164.RTA inflating: TGR02164.RTC inflating: TGR02164.RTE inflating: TGR02164.RTH inflating: TGR02164.RTI inflating: TGR02164.RTM inflating: TGR02164.RTP inflating: TGR02164.RTR inflating: TGR02164.RTS inflating: TGR02164.RTT inflating: TGR02164.RTZ inflating: TGR02164.MET Then, finally, looking ahead: I opened up the enxt step which is lookup_tables.sql and it in turn tries to create tables while drawing from tables called co99_d00 and pl99_d00 -- where do these tables get created? How? I know that the 2007 data is now using .shp files (or at least that's my understanding) -- do I need to download those, as well? Does that introduce the risk of data that's not out of sync? For that matter, what do I do with that data in the first place? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you, Joshua Long http://www.joshlong.com/ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Which-*.shp-files-is-the-TIGER-GeoCoder-referring-to%2C-and-where-do-co99_d00-and-pl99_d00-come-from--tp18423831p18423831.html Sent from the PostGIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
