Each of these tables inherits from the base addr, faces, edges, etc located in the tiger schema. All the geocode functions only reference the base tables, so there is no requirement that the data schema be called tiger_data or that data can't be further partitioned into other schemas -- e.g a different schema for each state, as long as all the tables inherit from the tables in the tiger schema. + + If you are using a prerelease version of PostGIS 2.0.0 tiger geocoder, you can upgrade the scripts using the accompanying upgrade_geocoder.bat / .sh scripts in tiger_2010. We'll be + refining the upgrade scripts until release. Design: The goal of this project is to build a fully functional geocoder that can process an arbitrary address string and using normalized TIGER census data, produce a point geometry and rating reflecting the location of the given address and likeliness of the location.
