Re: Upload Table Warning Message

I'm not an expert at this at all, but EWKT is extended well-known text -
for extra dimensions. See

http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch04.html#id2559296

So are there extra elements in your data that might be ignored? Are the
PostGIS versions the same on both 8.0 and 8.2? If they're different, it
could be that earlier PostGIS ignored extra values in a string.

Just a guess.

[NOVICE] Upload Table Warning Message

Hi list:

I uploaded a table using psql command to both Postgres 8.0 and 8.2. The
upload to 8.2, I got a warning message:

INSERT 01
psql:XXXX.sql :01: WARNING: OGC WKT expected, EWKT provided - use
GeomFromEWKT <> for this
....

What does this mean and how can I avoid this? Thank you for your advice.

Jessica
