I have a shp file that has geography types, Can I convert it with a tool like shp2pgsql? or is there a postgis function to do that?

Should be able to use shp2pgsql direct from the command line though I am unsure on syntax off-hand...we've done this in my existing environment, though someone else wrote that and I'm not sure.

There are also GIS tools that can assist with this... http://www.safe.com/ is a 3rd party program that gives another route.

Some ETL tools such as Pentaho seem to be quite capable of doing this as well.

  • It looks like I had a different projection, I only had to transform, but you're right with shp2psql you can directly transform to geometry type. – Paco Valdez Dec 20 '11 at 16:52
