Comment (by rblazek):

 Did you consider that each database supports different types? So either we
 limit the options to VARCHAR, INT, DOUBLE PRECISION/REAL and DATE or we
 add more types but user can end up with error even if the type was offered
 in the list.

 The best solution would be to add a function to all GRASS db drivers to
 return list of supported types and write an interface in qgis which will
 use those lists according to selected vector/layer (i.e. db). But that
 seems to be overkill to me at this moment.
