[GRASS-user] v.db.connect -p

[Patricio Toledo Peña (Casa)]

Dear Markus

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the -g option, i did not pretent to
change
the behaviour of -p or -g options in v.db.connect, i suppose that a new
option
which behaves like g.region -p could a nice solution (but no very
consistent) so
nobody is hurt with the proposed change.

Regards
Patricio
