[postgis-users] pgsql2shp buffer

[Purvis, Charlton]

Hi, folks:

I'm curious if pgsql2shp writes to a buffer of some sort before it actually
starts writing to a .dbf.  I'm trying to dump about 0.5 million rows which
shouldn't be too bad and shouldn't take too long.  However, pgsql2shp seems
to sit there w/ only a 1 byte (or KB?) .dbf.  Should I turn on debugging?
I'd hate to recompile PostGIS.

If I type a select * from table_name (the one I'm trying to create the shp
from), it returns w/i a minute or two.  But I'm sure psql is doing buffering
of its own.

postgresql-7.4.1/contrib/postgis-0.8.1

Thanks,

Charlton
