[GRASS-user] Generating categorical int values from a string attribute for use with v.to.rast

have you read the manual?:

https://grass.osgeo.org/grass76/manuals/v.db.update.html

where=sql_query
    WHERE conditions of SQL statement without

looping through your categories in sm_soil_se by a where clause and
v.db.update the sm_soil_se_int column accordingly?
