[GRASSLIST:2680] extracting vector attributes

[Christopher Fonnesbeck]

I am trying to determine the area of each polygon in a layer, and store 
this statistic as a column in the attribute table (my vector attributes 
are stored in MySQL). There appears to be no vector function in the 
reference manual that provide this function, but I'm sure there must be 
something that does this. Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
C.
