Обсуждение: pgsql2shp - Could not create dbf file
Hi everyone:
I got an error when I use pgsal2shp.
My server is Linux
The command I used is: pgsql2shp -f newroads gisdb testarea
Where, newroads is my out put file name, gisdb is database name, and testarea is table name.
After hit enter button, I got the message: Initializing... Could not create dbf file
What was wrong? Any help will be appreciated.
Fay
Hi, Fay, First, this would be better posted to the PostGIS lists, as pgsql2shp is a PostGIS utility, and not a PostgreSQL SQL query.

Could > not create dbf file It seems that there was an error creating the newroads.dbf file - each shapefile consists of corresponding .shp, .dbf and .shx files. Do you have permissions on the directory to create those three files? Markus -- Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG Dipl.
