$ ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" test.geojson -t_srs EPSG:4326 PG:"host=localhost user=postgres dbname=sp_join port=5432" -sql 'select gid, geom from test'

I am using the following code in ogr2ogr to export a table from PostGIS to GeoJSON, but get the following errors: 

ERROR 1: Reading EWKB with 4-dimensional coordinates (XYZM) is not supported
ERROR 1: Reading EWKB with 4-dimensional coordinates (XYZM) is not supported

ERROR 1: Reading EWKB with 4-dimensional coordinates (XYZM) is not supported
ERROR 1: Reading EWKB with 4-dimensional coordinates (XYZM) is not supported

How can I avoid 4-dimensional coordinates?

You can remove unwanted ordinates with any of:

So you could modify your -sql argument like this:

-sql 'select gid, st_force2d(geom) from test'

  • thanks, how would that be included in the code? I try select gid, geom from test; ST_Force2D(geom) and get a syntax error
