dbf can only have 8 characters as column name. try a sql database as vector database backend:
Helmut, I'm trying to use postgres for all vector map attributes and have read everything in the on-line docs several times. What I'm finding is that when I import a new map (such as the waterbody .e00 that started this thread) the attributes end up in a .dbf table rather than a new postgres table. Therefore, I need to straighten out the contents of the dot-files: ~/.grasslogin64, ~/.grassrc6, and ~/.grasswx6. I'm running -6.5svn, and I see what appears to be overlapping and conflicting information in the first two dot-files. For the two large spatial analyses projects I have two postgres databases, each with its own set of tables. ~/.grasslogin64 has the results of db.connect and db.login for both databases. ~/.grassrc6 has the GISDBASE, LOCATION_NAME, MAPSET, DEBUG, MONITOR, and GRASS_GUI for one of the two projects. What should be in both of these dot-files? And, do I duplicate the project information in .grassrc6 for the second project?
