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.

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?
