Hi All,
I'm having some trouble using ogr2ogr to do batch uploads to a Postgis DB.
It appears that on tables which don't contain geometry, CreateLayer is
failing and not allowing data to be appended to an existing table. Here is
the command that is being used to load each feature class:
ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" -lco ENCODING=UTF-8 -append -update PG:"host=foo
dbname=bar user=crak password=head" ./nokia_here_asia/file.gdb CityPOINames
Below is my logging output. The first set of data shows the asia data set
being loaded, which creates the PostGIS tables. The next set shows what
happens with the europe data set. Although warnings are given for
MapAdminArea, MapAdminLink and CityPOI layers, they are sucessfully
appended. However, CityPOINames, MapAreaNames, and MapNameTrans all fail
with the CreateLayer error. Those tables are different in that they lack
geometry.

--------
I could create some giant CSV files and load these in one shot, but I'd
prefer it if I could handle the entire load using ogr2ogr. Has anyone else
encountered this, or have suggestions for dealing with the problem?
Thanks,
Roger
