SYNOPSIS

       shp2pgsql-gui [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the shp2pgsql-gui command.

       shp2pgsql-gui  is a program that converts ESRI Shape files into SQL statements and imports
       these statements to a PostGIS/PostgreSQL database. The GUI allows  the  user  to  set  the
       shape  file  to  import,  the  PostGIS/PostgreSQL  connection  parameters and some options
       related to the table where the data will be imported to.

       shp2pgsql-gui  can  be  called  with   some   command   line   options   that   fill   the
       PostGIS/PostgreSQL server connection parameters in.

              connections.
