[GRASS-dev] [GRASS GIS] #1862: Corrections GRASS 7.0 help files db.connect and v.db.connect

[Paulo van Breugel]

Hi Markus,

OK, as an example, in db.connect, the 'offending' text is under the 
'Parameter' heading. The default driver name and the default database 
name should change (marked with  >>):

-----------------

driver=name

    Name of database driver

    Options: pg, odbc, mysql, ogr, dbf, sqlite

    >> Default: sqlite  

database=name

    Name of database

    >> Default: $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db  

schema=name

    Database schema

    Do not use this option if schemas are not supported by driver/database server

group=string

    Default group of database users to which select privilege is granted

--------------------


Just for my understanding, these parts of the manual page are not in the 
html file 
(http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk/db/db.connect/db.connect.html) 
and I assume they are generated / parsed from the actual code? With no 
understanding of the source code (I had a look out of curiosity, but 
that was an exercise in futility), I was wondering how/if I could 
suggest changes that would actually be more helpful then just mentioning 
them like above.

Cheers,

Paulo
