[GRASS-user] Problems with v.external

[Andreas Neumann]

yes, PostgreSQL works in ogr. I also use it to import Interlis data to
Postgis.

Supported Formats:
  -> "ESRI Shapefile" (read/write)
  -> "MapInfo File" (read/write)
  -> "UK .NTF" (readonly)
  -> "SDTS" (readonly)
  -> "TIGER" (read/write)
  -> "S57" (read/write)
  -> "DGN" (read/write)
  -> "VRT" (readonly)
  -> "AVCBin" (readonly)
  -> "REC" (readonly)
  -> "Memory" (read/write)
  -> "CSV" (read/write)
  -> "GML" (read/write)
  -> "KML" (read/write)
  -> "Interlis 1" (read/write)
  -> "Interlis 2" (read/write)
  -> "PostgreSQL" (read/write)
  -> "GRASS" (readonly)

Seems to be another problem. Maybe with the quotes ...
