Hi River,
it's too late to add it for this import. if the
import needs to be
restarted for some reason, i'll add this, but i hope that won't happen ;-)
May I ask which style you used?
depending on how much disk space the completed import
uses, it might be
possible to change styles in future by importing a separate copy with
the new style, then swapping that with the current database.
The script to do this
is placed at
https://svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/mazder/planet-import/planet-update
It's not enough to rename the tables, you have to rename all indices,
too (see activate_tables and drop_old_tables functions).
however,
since we also want to store the API database and rendered tiles, this
might not be possible for very long.
I'm happily looking forward on the
complete db import. There was
recently a discussion on osm-dev on how to generate a complete history
dump which includes all changes since 2004 or so:

Is this of interest for ptolemy?
