Remove "planet" prefix from OSM data in PostGIS

Description

The tables of the OSM data in PostGIS are called like: "planet_osm_line", "planet_osm_point" ...

I find this very confusing, because the tables only contain the data for the feature city. (and obviously not of the planet)

I suggest to rename these tables. This can easily be done by using the "--prefix" flag from osm2pgsql . This is the corresponding text file in OSGeo-live.

I see two possibilities for renaming:

  • a static prefix like "feature_city_line", "feature_city_point", ...

OR

  • a dynamic prefix like "bonn_line", "bonn_point", ...

the OSM toolchain names things this way; agree it is awkward, but not for OSGeo to change IMO
