[GRASS-user] ODBC with MySQL/PostgreSQL

[Otto Dassau]

Hi users, 

I try to connect a PG or MySQL database to GRASS via odbc, but it doesn't 
really work. I know I should use the psql and mysql driver, but as far as I 
know it should also work with odbc - right and I would like to test it with a 
current GRASS CVS on debian testing?

It seems there are problems with the user authentification. The error messages 
come from the databases. 

db.connect driver=odbc database=spearfish_mysql
db.login user=grass pass=
MySQL:
... Access denied for user  '@'localhost (using password: YES) (1045)

Has anybody recently made similar experinces with current ODBC, GRASS, 
Postgres or MySQL versions? 

kind regards,
  Otto
