[GRASS-user] [GRASSLIST:1197] v.external

[Kirk Wythers]

I have a postgres database (postgis enabled with geometry columns),  
that I want to connect grass to with v.external. However, v.external  
seems to only "see" one table (layer) in the database, and does not  
seem to allow a connection with a view.

Since one table contains the site latitude longitude and geometry  
information, and another table contians the variables of interest  
from those sites, I created a view that contains both position  
information and variables of interest in hopes that I could connect  
to it with grass. So far, this does not seem to be the case.

Any other ideas as to how I might be able to bring a postgis view  
into grass?

Thanks,

Kirk
