Try the table manager in the wxGUI.

Then you also have the various db.* and v.db.* modules, such as

v.db.update, v.db.addcol, v.db.dropcol, etc.

and more generically

db.execute and db.select

If you just want to export the attributes of a vector to a text file, 
you might want to try v.db.select.
