Markus,

   Yes, it would help.

   Because I wanted to modify the database I looked at the db.* modules and
didn't think to look for any v.db.* modules. I know about v.to.db, but did
not consider that a strictly database manipulation would be a vector
command.

   Would it be helpful (and practical) to put (in this case) a "See also:
vector commands" section at the bottom of each module category page that
would point to applicable alternatives? Perhaps even suggesint looking for
extension modules.

Best regards,

Rich
