Dear List,

I have some problems with tables stored in PostgreSQL database.
I'm using openSUSE 11.1 (and 10.3), PostgreSQL 8.2.13 and GRASS GIS 6.4.0RC4
My default db connection for my mapsets is set to postgresql.
I am using schemas within the database corresponding to the mapsets. So
my mapset "forest" has a corresponding schema "forest" in the database
where all the forest-tables should be stored.

Problem 1:
After dissolving with v.extract -d using the new= parameter I tried to
use v.db.addtable to create a table for my dissolved map. This has to be
done, as far as I understood, since the new= parameter of v.extract
results in maps without tables.
Now v.db.addtable creates the table, but doesn't put it in the right
database schema. It is created in the schema "public2 and not in the
schema 2forest", where it should be. Although db.connect -p verifys that
all connection parameters are correctly set.
I guess using v.extract without dissolving and doing that later using
v.dissolve will solve the problem. I was just wondering if anyone
experienced the same issues with the schemas and if there is a solution
to this.

I guess this is a bug in v.db.addtable (which is just a script). It uses:

echo "CREATE TABLE $table ($COLUMN_DEF)" | db.execute database="$database" driver="$driver"

to create the table, and so does not take into account the schema. Should be easy to fix, but no time now. Please post a bug report about this, so that it is not forgotten.


Problem 2:
This is really confusing me. I tried to use the capability of linking
more than one attribute table to a map. Overall I succeded doing so.
Grass reports (in german):

...................................................................................
v.db.connect -o map=trees_geo_init key=cat_id layer=3
table=forest.trees_buche

Just adding a database connection to a layer does not add any features to that layer. In order for features to appear in a specific layer, you have to give them a category value in that layer, i.e. with v.category.
