ogr2ogr can write most formats to most other formats. It can certainly write to a PostGIS database, & read KML., so if
itcan write it to shape, it can write direct to Postgis
You just need to set your output format to postgis.
Note: depending on where you got GDAL (ogr2ogr) from, it may or may not have PostGIS drivers compiled in, if it doesn't
youcan compile it yourself against Postgres/PostGIS to enable this on your platform.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I did take a look at ogr2ogr which can convert kml to shape. But i was
wondering if there's some direct way..:)
And by upload I meant adding geometry data to the DB.
Thanks & regards,
Subha
