DESCRIPTION

v.database is used to set the default driver/database for vector attributes storage. All created vector maps will get stored their attributes according to these settings.

A database schema is stored with table name in 'dbln' file (qualified name).

EXAMPLES

Get current settings: v.database -p

Define PostgreSQL attribute storage settings: using database 'botswanaUTM34' on external server:
v.database driver=pg database="host=pgserver.itc.it,dbname=botswanaUTM34,user=postgres"

Schema support: It is possible to set a default schema for a new vector table: v.database driver=pg database=test schema=user1

Define local DBF file attribute storage settings: v.database driver=dbf database='$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf'
