I'm trying to create contours from geotiff raster with gdal_contour. My output format is Postgresql and I would like to ovewrite the existing table.

When I do:
gdal_contour -a 1 -f PostgreSQL -i 50 -nln new_isolines dem.tif "PG:host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mybase user=postgres password=postgres"
I get:
ERROR 1: Layer new_isolines already exists, CreateLayer failed. Use the layer creation option OVERWRITE=YES to replace it.

But when I do:
gdal_contour -a 1 -f PostgreSQL -lco OVERWRITE=YES -i 50 -nln new_isolines dem.tif "PG:host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mybase user=postgres password=postgres"
I get a wrong usage message.

I know I can do it with ALTER/DROP table in my db prior to contouring with gdal, but that's unconvenient, because I want to set some more layer creation options:
OVERWRITE=YES
GEOMETRY_NAME=wgsgeom
FID=id
So how do I set theese options in gdal_contour utility?

  • I think you cannot have both -lco and -nln is the same command.

  • Maybe so, but removing -nln doesn't let me put -lco

  • Did you put the -loc param multiple times for each of the options?
