to 1)
make sure, the map is connected to the desired database. if necessary
overwrite current connection and delete tables
-> db.droptable -f table=network
-> v.db.connect -d map=network at achim
then do a
-> v.db.addtable map=network at achim layer=1
all geometry objects get a number
(maybe a v.category is necessary before)

 -> Questions remaining:
-how can I distinguish between points and polylines?
-how are connections (polyline)-node-(polyline/polyline) stored/defined?
