[OSM-talk] Using osm2pgsql can I import into postgres in a projection other than Spherical Mercator (epsg:900913) like wgs84 (epsg:4326)

[Thomas Wood]

Provided it can read postgres, and the styles can be adapted to a
mapnik-like database structure.

Data will be imported into 4 tables - planet_osm_point,
planet_osm_line, planet_osm_polygon and planet_osm_roads.
Each tag defined in the default.style file (packaged with osm2pgsql)
will be used as a field, in addition to the fields osm_id
(self-explanatory) and way (the geometry).
