[OSM-dev] osm2pgsql and bbox imports

[Stephan Knauss]

Hi,

I'm doing a slim mode bbox import for rendering.

What is supposed to be in the planet_osm_nodes table? All nodes of my 
import source file or only the nodes contained in the bbox?

I used this bbox:
--bbox  "97.3,5.6,109.6,23.4"

and planet_osm_nodes contains for example this:

id;lat;lon
1744503310;1003244360;-1936959139;

Is it supposed to be there?
If so, it would be a lot faster to preprocess the input file with bbox 
clipping before feeding it into osm2pgsql.

Was this changed recently? I have the impression that in the past it did 
not contain these nodes.
