Importing csv files containing multiple geometries in postgis

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have the following data in tab delimited csv file (containing
latitude and longitude of places):

    <place1> <geo> "POLYGON((-5.8335446 43.3655635,-5.8336337
43.3655207,-5.8349218 43.3673341,-5.8345197 43.3674013,-5.8336182
43.3660938,-5.8335037 43.365924,-5.8334505 43.3658461,-5.8334702
43.3657311,-5.8335446 43.3655635))" .
    <place2> <geo> "POINT((-5.8374796 43.3687922))" .
    <place3> <geo> "LINESTRING((-5.8427265 43.3678474,-5.8421236 43.3677908))" .
    <place4> <geo> "MULTIPOINT((-5.8445678 43.3589236,-5.8435222
43.358205,-5.8429834 43.3575551,-5.8429127 43.3572642))" .

I want to import this data into postgis. In order to do so, I need to
create a table in my database first. I know I can create a table for
one specific geometry(e.g. for POINT) using:

    create table myTable (firstColumn varchar(100));
    SELECT AddGeometryColumn( 'myTable', 'geom', 4269, 'POINT', 2 );

But I am not able to understand as to how can I import my csv file
containing varied geometries into postgres in a single table in a
single column myTable. I also want to construct a single "gist" index
on the top of myTable
