I have tried to export a map with two tables connected to it. Running v.db.tables -p, I can see that there names are: allpairs1_1 and allpairs_set10k. I would like to export both to either one or two csv files.<br><br></div>

</div>The dsn parameter is the path + filename to the *output* file.<br>

</div>Apparently you try to overwrite the internal GRASS database... better don't :-)<br>
<br>
See the second example in the manual:<br>
<a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/db.out.ogr.html" target="_blank">http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/db.out.ogr.html</a><br>
<br>
The dsn parameter should point to the output CSV file:<br>
<br>
db.out.ogr input=distance1 dsn=/home/dof1985/shortest_distance.csv format=CSV<br>
<br>
I agree that it is a bit confusing, since the db_table parameter should not<br>
be used in this case (only if you write the output to a database system).<br>
<br>
Essentially we follow the logic of GDAL/OGR here.<br>
<br>
Since we are in GRASS 7 (where we may change parameters), I would not<br>
mind to see a more intuitive solution here.<br>
<br>
Dor, others: meanwhile manual improvements would be welcome (text<br>
snippets to add to the manual).<br>
