[GRASS-user] Problems with v.external

[Andreas Neumann]

Hello,

I am trying to use postgis datasets read-only using v.external. However, I
am having problems. Here is my command:

v.external dsn="PG:host=localhost dbname=uster user=an password=mypw"
layer=natur.naturnahe_gaerten output=gaerten

And here is my error message:

Sorry, <dbname> is not a valid parameter
Sorry, <user> is not a valid parameter
Sorry, <password> is not a valid parameter

I expected to run into problems with schemas, maybe, but not with the
login. What am I doing wrong in the dsn parameters?

Thanks for any hints,
Andreas
