Micha,

<br>
Wait. Why does db.out.ogr allow the output file to be another
database? How
<br>
often would someone want to do this?
<br>
<br>
Related question: the format option is required, but to the input
or output?
<br>
Look at the first example. It has an input and output but no
format.

<p>Your input would be an existing GRASS vector. But it could be any

<p>The default output format is CSV, if you don't specify anything
else. But it could be several others: DBF, GML, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
SQLite.</p>
