It is not so bad: http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/databaseintro.html To migrate a GRASS database table (or a GRASS vector map) to a different DBMI engine, the best solution is to create a new MAPSET, define the DBMI settings accordingly with db.connect and if needed, db.login. Then the table of interest can be copied over with db.copy from the original MAPSET. Likewise, a vector map including its table(s) are copied from the original MAPSET to the current MAPSET with g.copy. PostgreSQL might be overkill for personal use. All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini: http://www.faunalia.it/pc _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
