Step 2 - Create AddressBase CSV database

Step 2 - Create AddressBase CSV database

Owned by Kim Stimpson
Last updated: 16 Aug, 2018

Now we are going to create a PostgreSQL database based on the PostGIS template and load in the AddressBase data.

  • Create AddressBase database - this is the same as for AddressBase GML so click on the link for details.
  • Right click on the Schemas node, under your newly created addressbase database, and select New Schema... to create a schema called premium_csv and select iShareData as the Owner.

Now you need to run the following scripts in order:

Create the AddressBase Tables
