Hello list,
I have installed FWTools 1.0.0a5 and I am using ogr2ogr to load data
from shapefile to PostGIS (PostgreSQL 8.0.3). I am using a command like
this:
ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL -a_srs EPSG:28992 PG:"host=<hostname> user=<user>
dbname=<database_name>" E:\data\gem2003.shp
The data are loaded in the database but the SRS is not set correctly: a
SRID of 32768 is assigned to the geometries. Since I (yet) don't know
how to correct this in PostGIS I would like to know how ogr2ogr can be
persuaded to write the right EPSG code to PostGIS.
Regards,
Frans Knibbe
