G'day,

As a start (and as noted in your previous post), the shp2pgsql program writes a SQL file which you then need to import into postgres - so it is a two stage process - but it is well covered in the manual, so it sounds like something is going wrong.

Maybe you could include a copy of what you have done, and what output happened when you tried it. Also, are you on windows or *nix? What versions of the software are you using? And what projection do you want the data to be in?

cheers

Ben
