<div>Hi Frank,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the note. I figured the problem out last night. I was programatically creating tables in PostGIS, but not adding a corresponding entry to the geometry_columns table. After I started doing that (adding an appropriate entry in the geometry_columns table), ogr2ogr worked perfectly. I guess this wasn't the case before, was it?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks much,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Warm regards,</div>
<div> </div>

I mainly use it to convert a postgis table to a shapefile.

I saw something on this list about the geometry_columns table, but couldn't quite follow the thread.
