[GRASS-user] Re: v.out.ogr: Convert Attribute Database?

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

>Used v.out.ogr to export from dbf to a postgres table

v.out.ogr - Converts GRASS vector map to one of the supported OGR vector
formats. 

v.out.ogr export the entire vector map (geometry and attribute) not only the
attribute table

from the manual:
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.out.ogr.html

Export to PostgreSQL/PostGIS
Export areas from GRASS vector map directly to PostGIS:

v.out.ogr input=polygons type=area \
          dsn="PG:host=localhost dbname=postgis user=postgres" \
          olayer=polymap format=PostgreSQL

> v.out.ogr in=surface_h2o
>type=point dsn="PG:dbname=buckhornmine" 

missing format definition? 

default format is shape-file

what I would do (a very lazy way):

- create a new mapset
- using db.connect (Prints/sets general DB connection for current mapset and
exits.) to define postgres as the mapset database backend
- g.copy surface_h2o to the new mapset and the attribute table should be
automagically in the postgres
