[GRASS-user] Lost in encoding problem, v.in.ogr

[Daniel Victoria]

Thanks Ana,

Setting the attributes / encoding to windows-1252 fixed the query results
windows problem. But as you mentioned, it did not help with the Attribute
table manager.

Also, v.db.select works from the command console in the layer manager but
it does not work in the windows command line

Cheers
Daneil
