[Geocoding] Local Mirror of OSM Data...

[Peter Childs]

I'm looking to set up a local mirror of the OSM data, so I can index and
working out some new wonderful way of searching it. etc etc
Anyway, What's the best way to set this up,

I was looking at taking the planet.osm possibly with diffs later and
throwing it at a SAX parser and then into a database.

I did speculate on using OSMOSIS but its too slow and I'm speculating on
soundexing and metaphoning the data as its imported,

I'm also looking at being able to build a tree (parent/child) structure for
areas, But these are only ideas currently.

Currently I'm importing planet.osm into a postgres database using osmosis so
see how big it is, But its been going all night, and looks like its only
done about 5% where as decompressing the planet takes about 2 hours, so I
was expecting it done in kind of say 6?

Any ideas/help would be most useful.

Peter
