This means that e.g. an attribute table can be populated first and then
vector objects can be added to the geometry file with category numbers.

It is possible to link the geographic objects in
a vector map to one or more tables. Each link to a distinct
attribute table is called a layer. A link defines which database

Vector objects are not organized in layers. All vector
objects are kept in one geometry file, and topology is maintained for
all vector objects together. GRASS layers only consist of links to
