[FWTools] PGeo->Postgres on Ubuntu 9.04. Can virtualbox help?

[Roald de Wit]

David,

Shapefiles also tend to lose date/time formats (they get turned into 
strings). In order to overcome this issue and the column name length 
one, I tend to convert to MapInfo files. You can load those files into 
PostGIS with ogr2ogr just as easily as shapefiles.

Regards,

Roald
