Hello postgis users,
I frequently have a problem when running the pgsql2shp dumper whereby
the program is executed but it does not actually complete. It only
creates an empty shapefile. The Dumping output indicates only a single
"X", as shown below:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin>pgsql2shp -u postgres -P creemore -f
V:\Lida
rData\utm17_3.shp spatialDB bare_earth_utm17
Initializing... Done (postgis major version: 1).
Output shape: Point
Dumping: X
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin>
This results in an empty shapefile.
Often, the execution works properly on the second or third attempt. In
general this is not a problem except when I need to run it
programmatically, in which case I need a more reliable execution.
Any ideas?
Not sure, as a single X doesn't really give much in the way of debugging
information :( Some PostgreSQL on Windows users have reported problems
with 3rd party firewalls and/or virus checkers interfering with normal
operation - it may be worth trying to disable these temporarily and
trying again.
HTH,
Mark.
