[GRASS-user] Re: dbf File not being Created with v.in.ascii

[Markus Neteler]

Ryan,

OK, so there are no attributes in the CSV but only geometry and
category number (ID). GRASS will not create a DBF file
since there is no need for it, given these data.

If you want to later add a table, simply use v.db.addtable.

Hope this helps,
Markus
