PostGIS SQL Dump

Open Beta

.sql · application/sql

PostGIS SQL is a text SQL script that creates a table with a geometry column and fills it with data, ready to load into any PostgreSQL database with the PostGIS extension. It is a convenient way to hand an OSM selection to a team already on the PostgreSQL stack: apply the script and you immediately have a geometry table for queries through ST_* functions. Our exporter generates a self-contained .sql: CREATE TABLE with a geom column and attributes, then one INSERT per feature where geometry is given via ST_GeomFromText(WKT, SRID) (SRID 4326 by default). Multiple layers become separate tables, and values are escaped (SQL-injection safe). Honestly: this is a simple human-readable dump via ST_GeomFromText, not a binary pg_dump archive and not the full osm2pgsql schema with planet_osm tables and spatial indexes.
