[OSM-dev] making osm2pgsql import relations?

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Hi,

One alternative is to use the GDAL/OGR OSM driver
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_osm.html
A short document about how to use it
http://latuviitta.org/documents/OSM_relations_visualized_with_GDAL_and_OpenJUMP.pdf

In the document the output goes to Spatialite database but PostGIS makes
no difference.

GDAL converts OSM relations into OGC simple features of type "geometry
collection". It means that only attributes which have been given for the
relation will follow with the geometry.
