[GRASS5] SQL support/hostname/password

[Markus Neteler]

Hi all,

currently there is no proper support for hostnames,
user names and passwords in SQL support. It would
be useful to have it
 - associated to the location (currently something is stored
   in .grassrc5)
 - keep it as a secret

Maybe I have found something useful at
src/libes/dbmi/drivers/sqlbase > more README 
Unix env:
    $SQLBASE:   set to the /SQLBASE directory
    $SQLBASE_SERVER: set to a server name (otherwise get local databases )

PASSWORDS: (also read file PASSWORDS)
$HOME/.sqlbase/db.passwd: password file for databases
        dbname//passwd
        dbname/username/passwd
$HOME/.sqlbase/server.passwd: password file for servers
        server/passwd

This is related to "sqlbase driver" but might be an idea for a GRASS
implementation.

Just a hint
 
 Markus
