This was loaded via:

ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:4326 out.shp in.shp

This complained about something but seems to have passed on at least some of the problems.

shp2pgsql ...

No complaints there - so maybe this command should be extended to validate geometry and have a rule for how to handle bad ones like NULL the geom or try to fix it, etc.

I was able to locate the first issue, and after about 30 mins of trying this and that was able to locate the bad record and dump with astext and manually copy the start point to an new end point and fix that.

The problem is I have 503 more records that are not valid and want to fix them but the tools do not allow me to easily sort out the simple invalid from the more severe ones because these commands are dying on fatal errors instead of recognizing it is a fatal condition are reporting it appropriately. :(

So my first need it to sort the simple and problematic cases. Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

This will make dumping a test data tricky at best...

Hi all,

I'm getting this error:

This just seems very bad in that isvalid() and st_isvalidreason() should
never fail, IMO.
