The easiest way to do it is to use the osm2psql tool and then export

Hi Ian,

  This might sound silly but, apologise if it does sound that way, where can
i find the osm2psql tool?
Also, can you tell me why this part of the forum was moved onto Nabbl2?
before it was Nabble1, did something major happen?

Cheers
