[GRASS-dev] OGR write access

[Martin Landa]

Hi,

I am thinking how to implement direct write access to OGR datasources
from the user point of view. One approach would be to implement global
flag '--u' for updating existing vector map (i.e. OGR datasource).
E.g.

v.out.ogr input=test dsn=. type=point -n
v.external dsn=. layer=test output=test
v.random out=test n=1000 --u

this could work also for native format

v.edit map=test tool=create
v.random out=test n=1000 --u

Or to add new parameters 'dns/format' which would be used only for OGR
format, not for the native one.

v.random out=test n=1000 format=ESRI_Shapefile dns=.

Any ideas?

Martin
