[GRASS-user] g.copy vect=... DBF/SQLITE in GRASS6.4.2

["Peter Löwe"]

Hi all,

I just noticed that copying a vector amongs mapsets in GRASS6.4.2 is nontrivial for differing database backends:

Let vector A reside in mapset Alpha, which is connected to a DBF "database". 

Let there be vector B residing in mapset Beta, which is set to a SQLITE database.

Using "g.copy vect=A at ALPHA,A_test" to copy A into mapset Beta works without producing any errors or warnings.  

Unfortunately the attribute table is not copied in the process:  Is the user/operator really forced to fix this by hand every time ? Is there an elegant way to handle this ?
