That would be great.
I do have GDAL compiled with postgis.
I'll definitely try this option.
Thanks a lot.

ogr2ogr can write most formats to most other formats. It can certainly write to a PostGIS database, & read KML., so if it can 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 you can 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

So far, I have been using shp2pgsql to upload data from shape files.
I don't want to convert it to shape and then upload it.
Have you looked at ogr2ogr? It looks to support KML as a format, and
has PostGIS support, though I'm not sure if it can handle the direction
you're asking for.
