Presented by:
Ryan Lambert
PostgreSQL is my database of choice; skydiving is my adrenaline rush of choice!
I started my technology-heavy career in 2003 working in the professional audio industry from a computing perspective. By 2008 I had become fully immersed in the world of databases, programming, and automating away tedious data-related tasks for the office. PostGIS was the driving force behind my initial use, and eventual love, of PostgreSQL.
This session dives into how to install, configure and use osm2pgsql on Linux to load OpenStreetMap data into PostGIS. Loading the data into PostGIS is the first step required to begin consuming and leveraging OpenStreetMap data. Where to download OSM data, best practices, helpful tricks and common pitfalls are all covered.
