[GRASS-user] Re: [GRASSLIST:1148] Attribute editing

[RAVI KUMAR]

Hi Rai,
1. You have to check the edit box in the Display manager (DM).
    Then you can simple enter the attribute from Key board.
User permissions of Linux also my come in the way. See that you have
permission to write on the file.
2. You second DB related proble is not clear Pl.
You can goto the dataset and open the *.dbf files in open office too
for any modification. This is acceptable to GRASS.
Cheers
Ravi Kumar

On using "d.what.vect -e map=roads" and after clicking on map, it
display information, but, I am not able to edit category number in that.
Manual says that -e option will open form in edit mode. Where I am
wrong?

Also I am not able to query using following:

 echo "select * from roads" | db.select

It throws following error:

DBMI-DBF driver error:
Table 'roads' doesn't exist.
Error in db_open_select_cursor()

Thanks in advance.
