Not at the moment, but if you're only working on a smallish excerpt of the planet it would probably be feasible to apply the daily diff and reimport the data to postgres in not-much-time. This doesn't really work for the whole planet where importing alone seems to be taking about 4 hours... this would probably go faster if I had faster disks, and if osm2pgsql could take advantage of all my CPUs - but that's non-trivial. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
