#

# PURPOSE:      Create a QGIS srs.db-compliant SQL script with SRS, ellipsoid

#               and projections defs based on the output of installed PROJ.4 and

#               GDAL.

# CHANGELOG:

#

# 1.0.2: Replace 'latlon' and 'lonlat' in the `proj -le` output so that QGIS can

#        parse the 'tbl_projection' table to provide the GCSs list in the

#        'Projection' dialog (it should be called 'Coordinate system' actually,

#        as a projection is only a component of a cs).

#        More comments.

# 1.0.1: Typos in comments fixed.

# 1.0:   First public release.

# USAGE:  1. qgis_srs.sh > output.sql

#         2. import output.sql into SQLite Database Browser

#         3. save as a new dbase, name it srs.db, use with QGIS

# DETAILS:

#

# The script creates an SQL plain text dump that can be imported into

# SQlite db eg. using SQLite Database Browser's "Import > Database from

# SQL file" tool.

#

# The ellipsoids (tbl_ellipsoid) and projections (tbl_projection) tables

# are created parsing the proj command output. I chose this approach,

# because looking at the original tables content it seems the original

# tables were created the same way.

#

# The tbl_srs table is created parsing the epsg_tr.py output. EPSG codes

# to process are taken from the installed GDAL's pcs.csv and gcs.csv files.

#

# Tables structure and final SQL statements creating the view and indices

# were copied from the original srs.db shipped with QGIS trunk r8544,

# after dumping it to a plain text format with SQLite Database Browser.

### DO IT ###

  radius char(255) NOT NULL default '',

  parameter2 char(255) NOT NULL default '',

  PRIMARY KEY  (acronym));"

# Populate ellipsoids table. Care about (possible) apostrophes in strings, which would brake the SQL syntax, as the "'" is also a string separator:

proj -le | sed 's/^ *//g' | tr -d "\t" | sed "s/  */ /g" | sed "s/'/''/g" | awk 'BEGIN {sep="'\'','\''"} NF>4 {printf $1 sep $4; for (i=5;i<NF+1;i++) {printf " "$i} print sep $2 sep $3} NF<5 {print $1 sep $4 sep $2 sep $3}' | while read i; do

 #...count the number of parameters...

 proj_nf=`echo $proj | awk -F"','" '{print NF}'`

 #...if only 3 (3 or 4 are possible) add an empty 4th one.
