Comment:

 Oops! I see, I should have asked on the mailinglist before filing this.

 Nevertheless: what I meant was something like

 {{{
 #import vector from table without copying the table:
 v.in.db -t sometable x=x_col y=y_col cat=id_col out=somevector
 # connect to original table
 v.db.connect somevector table=sometable key=id_col
 }}}

 But this could be mimicked by

 {{{
 db.select sometable sql='select x_col,y_col,id_col from sometable' |
 v.in.ascii -t cat=3 out=somevector
 v.db.connect somevector table=sometable key=id_col
 }}}

 Thus I set this to resolved as invalid.

 Thanks for the hint with the pipe! Sorry for being to quick asking here.

 Tom
