Hi,
How do I load a Census shp file into an exist database?  I believe I have 
postGIS install and now I want to load the US counties shp file.  

the following does not appear to work
shp2pgsql -s 4269 -I -W latin1 tl_2008_us_county.shp 2008_us_county | psql

Plus I don't know what it does!

Johnf
