-  script will need to be altered to reflect the actual data.  Since the place
-  and countysub lookup tables are generated to reflect the data in use, the

+TIGER Geocoder
+
+2007/07/03 install instructions:
+
+- Install postgresql-8.2-postgis (For various GIS bits)
+- Install PostGIS functions and spatial ref definitions:
+  \i /usr/share/postgresql-8.2-postgis/lwpostgis.sql
+  \i /usr/share/postgresql-8.2-postgis/spatial_ref_sys.sql
+- Install postgresql-contrib-8.2 for soundex (from fuzzystrmatch)
+- Install functions into PG using:
+  \i /usr/share/postgresql/8.2/contrib/fuzzystrmatch.sql
+- Modify and run import/load_tiger.sh for TIGER/Line data
+  (May wish to run the CompleteChain import seperate from the
+  Polygon import, since the latter takes an enourmous amount of time)
+- Rename tables to be lower-case and whatnot
+- Run ogr2ogr (example from tigerimport.sh called from load_tiger.sh)
+  for the TIGER Boundary SHP files (state boundaries, county boundaries, etc).
+  Might want download them into boundary/
+
+  Single-file import something like this:
+  ogr2ogr -append -f PostgreSQL -a_srs EPSG:4269 "PG:dbname=mydb user=tiger password=XXXXXXXX" WHATEVER.shp WHATEVER -lco DIM=2
+
+  Script to import the multi-file sets into a single table:
+  for file in *; do
+    mkdir x
+    cd x
+    unzip ../$file
+    BASE=`echo *.shp | cut -f1 -d.`
+    ogr2ogr -append -f PostgreSQL -a_srs EPSG:4269 "PG:dbname=mydb user=tiger password=XXXXXXXX" $BASE.shp $BASE -nln vt99_d00 -lco DIM=2
+    cd ..
+    rm -rf x
+  done
+
+- Create geometry indexes on all the tables using GiST, eg:
+  CREATE INDEX completechain_geom_idx ON completechain
+  USING GIST (wkb_geometry public.gist_geometry_ops);
+- Create lookup tables using lookup_tables.sql
+- Create roads_local using roads_local.sql
+- Create 'tiger_geocode_roads' using tiger_geocode_roads.sql
+- Run create_geocode.sql to load the functions
+- Profit!
