[GRASSLIST:140] Question about re-projecting points imported from Postgres

[Thomas Adams]

List:

I have a Lat-Long location into which I have successfully imported 
points from Postgres (a further question about this further below). What 
I want to do is to re-project the points into a Lambert Conic Conformal 
location using v.proj. When I try to do this, it does not work — it 
seems as though GRASS does not know how to do this. I have been able to 
do this successfully with points imported using v.in.ascii. It seems I 
am missing something, either conceptually or procedurally…

The further question about using v.in.db, the 'key' parameter in the 
documentation claims this is a string, which makes since to me, but when 
v.in.db is run, GRASS complains that an integer is needed. I'm guessing 
the integer that's supplied is the column/field number (beginning with 
'1'); if true, this seems to be inconsistent by what the 'x', 'y', and 
'z' fields require — just a thought.
