[Geocoding] PLACEX

Hello,

My name is Franz and I study informatics. For my diploma thesis I have  
to geocode (and reverse geocode) a huge amount of addresses (over  
100000) multiple times. The only geocoder I've found was Nominatim,  
but unfortunately Nominatim threats with ip blocking for high-traffic  
users.

So I'm trying to set up an own geocoder server (like Nominatim) with  
osm2pgsql. After I read the data into a postgres database (Postgres  
1.9 x86), I mentioned, that there doesn't exist a 'placex' table which  
Nominatim uses to query the Search- or Reverse-SQL statements.

Can somebody help me please?

Best regards,

Franz
