[GRASSLIST:10614] Re: OT : grass+postgis general question

[Tim De Chant]

It's my understanding that GRASS can read files from PostGIS via OGR,  
but it imports them into its own database structure.  Since the two  
databases are fairly different, I don't think GRASS can read and  
write directly from PostGIS (although I'd love to see that).  Please  
correct me if I'm wrong.
