[GRASSLIST:4321] GRASS PgSQL structure

[Martin Wegmann]

Hello, 

I have just made my first steps  in the world of GRASS and postgres and would 
like to get some advice on how to structure my GRASS Postgres before I go on.

I have ca. 100 locations in GRASS (areas)  and a spreadsheet with the 
corresponding location names and ca. 500 species: 

			sp.A  sp.B  sp.C ..... total
locations1       0         1        0             1
locations2        1        1        1             3

additionally to this biotic data I will have a table of abiotic data e.g. 
elevation for each location (GRASS query).

What is the best way for linking these datasets?
- Either merging them inside GRASS and putting all datasets in one table 
(vector) -- adding the species data by hand
- or doing db.copy/connect of the GRASS vector + import the spreadsheet of 
species-locations into pgsql - leaving the datasets separate and linking them 
to each other?

thanks, Martin
