[GIS] Loading Shapefiles into PostGIS using shapefile import/export manager

Question

I am a complete beginner with PostGIS. I've started learning it using the tutorials provided by Boundless. In section 4 of this tutorial where I want to import shapefile in PostGIS, I do not have the PostGIS shapefile Import/Export Manager tool in the PgAdmin III.

I've followed the tutorial step by step. They have never pointed if I need to install such tool or how to activate it, etc. Any idea what the problem could be? and how I can solve this?

I've installed Postgresql 9.3, PostGIS 2.1 , pgAdmin3 1.12.3 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.

by the way, the relevant page for this issue in the tutorial is at:

Thanks!

Answer 1

You are looking for PostGIS 2.0 Shapefile and DBF Loader Exporter, so access "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin\postgisgui\shp2pgsql-gui.exe"
