Thanks Micha,

Yes, commands are what I typed, just renamed the filenames before sending mail to the list:
x_arbeit = x_last
x_wohn = x_current

/That syntax is an error in postgres: double precision does not take a length qualifier. There's nothing in the v.db.join script that I can find that would add such a thing./"

Is it a problem of postgres or of v.db.addcolumn which is called within v.db.join? Can someone reproduce this mistake?

Cheers, Patrick

Hi, me again :-/

I got two vectorfiles with points - one file representing the current location of persons and the other one representing previous locations of the same persons. Persons are unique and have an id which is present in both files. I would like to calculate the distance each person has moved. Thought it would be best doing this in the datbase.

_my approach:_
v.db.addcolumn map=GR_xy_current col="x_current double precision, y_current double precision, distance double precision" v.db.addcolumn map=GR_xy_last col="x_last double precision, y_last double precision"
v.to.db map=GR_xy_current option=coor col=x_current,y_current
v.to.db map=GR_xy_last option=coor col=x_last,y_last
v.db.join map=GR_xy_current column=id otable=GR_xy_last ocolumn=id

_All commands will run except the last one, creating this error:_

DBMI-Postgres driver error:
