[this belongs on the GRASS mailing list; http://grass.itc.it]

but to answer your question.. the where= option performs a SQL query. You can
use a number of vector modules to describe the attached database, 'v.info -c'
or db.describe might help. Or outside of GRASS you can work the database
directly with whatever Postgres/MySql/DBF/etc software makes you happy.
See the introductory GRASS help pages and wiki for more info.
