Thanks Martin,

Here is what happens. Perhaps this does not work in GRASS 6.4.3? I just noticed that the sqlite selection in the GUI for db.connect does not do anything.

GRASS 6.4.3svn (Spain_utm_ed50z30):~ > db.connect driver=sqlite
GRASS 6.4.3svn (Spain_utm_ed50z30):~ > g.copy vect=alcala_subsect at Alcala_vectors,alcala_subsect_sqlite
Copy vector <alcala_subsect at Alcala_vectors> to current mapset as
<alcala_subsect_sqlite>
DBMI-SQLite driver error:
