[Geoserver-users] Working my way through the 'Loading VMAP0 data' wiki page

I think I finally have all of the shape files loaded into my PostGIS DB.

One question, I get the following notices, are they o.k.?

NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "shp:r_gid_seq" for
serial column "shp:r.gid"
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index
"shp:r_pkey" for table "shp:r"

Also, according to step 5 there is a ZIP file that I need - where do I
get it and what do I need to do with it once I have it?

Finally, can I remove the original VMAP0 data once it has been converted
with the wiki scripts? It takes up a huge amount of hard drive space.

Thanks!

Yes - these are fine (good infact).

Its too big to put on the wiki page - I'll probably make it available via FTP in a few weeks. If you have an FTP site I can upload the postgresql dumps for you.

I suggest you keep the .zip files (they are just under a gig total) "just in case". Also, unfortunately, ogr2ogr does not always produce topologically correct datasets so you might have to look at the original data.
