#2270 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Set NOT NULL constraint on the geometry column with '-N skip'

Description

The loader offers a command line option

-N skip

to skip features with null geometries. It would make sense the generated PostgreSQL table has a NOT NULL constraint set on the geometry column, since this is exactly what the user wants when specifying this option.

I don't agree. Often times I load in data with plan to add data later. I don't necessarily plan to load data with not null geometries since I sometimes add the attribute data first and then update from another table with a geometry. I see this as missplaced in -N skip (confusing doing too much when not asked for) and just as easy for a user to do themselves.
