[GRASS-dev] db.connect

[Marco Lechner - FOSSGIS e.V.]

or: with db.connect (QGIS-Version) you can't use the optional parameter
schema. If you want to connect to a database providing schemas you have
to use db.connect.schema

I guess the db.connect Version of QGIS is just for not "bothering"
normal users who don't know about schemas ;-)
