Something about dbf driver is here:
http://grass.itc.it/grass57/manuals/html57_user/sql.html

It must be extended (description) and mooved to DBF driver description.
DBF driver supports:
int / integer
double / double precision
varchar()
date 

'date' can be used in create statement, but it is stored as varchar(10).
