Note about DBMI (db.* modules):  DBMI != ODBC

DBMI is GRASS library for writing RDBMS modules and drivers.
You can write your own driver for Oracle or Postgres
but share all db.*  modules with users of other RDBMS.
(I know it is also bit slower) . I started to work on dbmi because I think   
it is better solution than:
d.rast.pg  d.what.r.pg  g.column.pg  g.table.pg   v.in.arc.pg
d.site.pg  d.what.s.pg  g.select.pg  pg.in.dbf    v.in.shape.pg
d.vect.pg  d.what.v.pg  g.stats.pg  v.reclass.pg 
d.rast.inf  d.what.r.inf  g.column.inf  g.table.inf    r.rescale.inf
d.site.inf  d.what.s.inf  g.select.inf  v.reclass.inf
d.vect.inf  d.what.v.inf  g.stats.inf   r.reclass.inf 
d.vect.ora    d.what.v.ora  g.stats.ora    r.rescale.ora
d.rast.ora  d.what.r.ora  g.column.ora  g.table.ora    v.reclass.ora
d.site.ora  d.what.s.ora  g.select.ora  r.reclass.ora  
.......
and so on for each RDBMS.

But it's only my opinion.
