[GRASS-user] Re: v.db.select works, db.select fails: same VAR

[Wailliez Sébastien]

Hello Markus,

 

I just tried ogrinfo --formats and ODBC is not in the list :-O

Apparently, the guys at SuSE who made the RPM didn't bother to compile OGR with ODBC support... I might as well build it all myself if that doesn't mean spending all day downloading and building tonnes of dependencies.

 

Now, is it so that db.select relies on OGR to access the database and v.db.select doesn't? My DB server is PostgreSQL, which is supported by my stock OGR build, and db.select does indeed work when I set driver=pg.

 

Thanks for your help (and insight)

 

Sébastien
