Importing spatial data into PostgreSQL


Forum|alt.badge.img
Hi all,

 

Does anyone know how to import spatial data into Postgre? It seems  the option Allowed Geometries is greyed out.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Darius

Hi

 

 

The PostgreSQL database isn't spatially enabled unless you also install the PostGIS extension. You can then use the FME PostGIS reader/writer.
