[postgis-users] Invalid SRID for geography type: ee4

[Philippe]

Hello,
I'm running into an issue loading data from the Belgium IGN.
I can transform a shapefile into Postgis loadable data with Geometry but
not Geography. I can't imagine why. Any ideas ? Thanks


The following works
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/shp2pgsql -WLATIN1 -s3812 -d -I
/home/postgres/warehouse/shapes/BE/vector/Shape_L08/commune_polygon.shp
be_ign > /tmp/be_ign.sql

The following fails
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/shp2pgsql -WLATIN1 -s3812 -G -d -I
/home/postgres/warehouse/shapes/BE/vector/Shape_L08/commune_polygon.shp
be_ign > /tmp/be_ign.sql

with
       "Shapefile type: Polygon
       Postgis type: MULTIPOLYGON[2]
       Invalid SRID for geography type: ee4"

Although 0xee4=3812 which is the EPSG for the Lambert 2008 projection used
by that file. And my spatial ref table contains it:

public=# select * from spatial_ref_sys  where auth_srid=3812;
