I have pulled in a USGS shape file that plots the 24K quadrangles in the US
and Hawaii. Since it is a shape file, data about the maps is in a dbf file,
which after being renamed to eliminate numbers in the name imported fine with
pg.in.dbf. I have run v.support but must have missed something in the
process since there does not seem to be any formal linkage between the vector
map and the datafile. Should -can- the file in postgres be read as a site
file? Each record has an associated lat-long.
Thanks
