[Pagc-users] Progress! and some minor questions

[The P. u. m. l. <pag...@li...>]

Hi all,

I am working on loading all of Tiger 2009 into PAGC.
I have made some progress with the most awesome support from Walter to 
help me debug issues and fix bugs.

So here is a link to my instance that only has Massachusetts loaded at 
the moment. This was loaded by appending each county to the existing 
instance. Tiger has something like 3300 counties for the whole thing. So 
I only have about 3290 more counties to load :)

Feel free to play with it and report any issues back to me.

The current data is all loaded as single sided records as opposed to 
left-right sided records. That will come later when I have more time to 
tweak my tiger join utility so it creates left-right sided records.

This means that in the output you may find multiple records with the 
same addressIdentifier tag because there is one for each address range 
on that street. IE: one or more for the left side and one or more for 
the right side.

Walter,

Here is a problem that I can not explain. These two queries are 
identical except the first include the zipcode and the second does not. 
The second does report the zipcode in the results, but if you add it to 
the input it fails to find the record.
