pgtopo_import(1)                    PostGIS                   pgtopo_import(1)

NAME
       pgtopo_import - postgis topology importer


SYNTAX
       pgtopo_import [options] topology


DESCRIPTION
       The pgtopo_import data loader reads an export file written by
       pgtopo_export and outputs an SQL script reconstructing the topology
       therein contained.


USAGE
       The <topology> is the name to give to the re-created topology, which
       can be different from the name of the topology the export was made
       from.

       By default the SQL script is written on standard output.


OPTIONS
       These are the supported options

       (Note that --skip-layers and --only-layers are mutually exclusive.)

       --skip-layers
              Do not include layers in the output SQL script. Just the
              topology schema.

       --only-layers
              Do not include the topology schema in the output SQL script.
              Just the layers.

       -f <filename>
              Read the export file from the specified filename, rather than
              from standard input.  -h Display usage information.


EXAMPLES
       An example session using the loader to create an SQL file and uploading
       it might look like this:

       # pgtopo_import city_data < city_data.pgtopo_export | psql newdb
