[FWTools] ogr2ogr: shapefile to postgis SRID problem

[Frans Knibbe]

Hello,

Meanwhile, I have figured out how to change the SRID in PostGIS, so this 
matter is not so urgent anymore.

An example:

ALTER TABLE gem2003 drop constraint enforce_srid_wkb_geometry;
update gem2003 set wkb_geometry=setsrid(wkb_geometry, 28992);
ALTER TABLE gem2003 add constraint enforce_srid_wkb_geometry CHECK 
(srid(wkb_geometry) = 28992);

My problem was that I used the PostGIS documentation in PDF, where the 
setsrid is missing a viral parameter (the SRID).

Regards,

Frans
