[GRASSLIST:3748] db.execute

[Daniel Isenegger]

Hi
i'm working on a suse 8.2 with grass57 (compiled from source) on a local 
Grass-DB:
 
with:
db.connect -p
driver:dbf
database:/data/gis/nfp48/nfp48/ipodlas0.1/grass/grassdata/UpperEngadine/disen/dbf

db.select-statement works well
(echo "select defoliatio from defoliation_53_shp" | db.select)


but db.execute statements fail, e.g.:
echo 'create table test_table ("cat" int, "desc" text)' | db.execute

dbmi: Protocol error
WARNING: Error while executing: "create table test_table ("cat" int, "desc"
         text)
         "
dbmi: Protocol error



also db.driver fails with the error:
error: can't read "opttype(1)": no such element in array
...

any help appreciated

Thanks dani
