Hello,

I am maintaining my postgresql database using osm2pgsql to maintain my database. I want to track the changes made by the daily replication files.

I was thinking of creating triggers that fired after delete, update and insert. But I have concerns that is might slow down the daily update process. Has anyone done this?

Can you export the change files to polygons in another table? or to a shapefile?

Thank you

Andrew

I did something along such lines for a map I produced during the licence change (slightly over two years ago).

It is slightly tricky in particular, except if something has changed, osm2pgsql will not update any objects, it deletes and then inserts a new copy. This is relevant if you have added additional columns to the schema and want to retain the information (essentially you have to copy the extra information on delete and then re-add on insert). I would not have any concerns performance wise if you are running this on a reasonably fast machine.
