I can’t seem to patch two vectors together with an attribute table then use the v.overlay command on the patched vector. I can use v.overlay if I don’t use v.patch's -e option, but I need the attribute table. Any way around this?

I was able to get it to work by using v.db.renamecolumn to rename columns that would be duplicates when truncated by v.patch.
I am kind of surprised we can only use columns with 10-characters, and using v.patch uses two of the characters (it appends a_ etc.). 8 characters isn’t exactly a lot. Is there are reason why columns have this limitation?

You should consider to change all your vectors to use the sqlite
database backend (now the default). Then you'll avoid problems like
this.<br>
