I changed the database names so they represent the project rather than the state in which they're located. The postgres ALTER DATABASE command does the job quite well. Unfortunately, grass seems to be confused by the name change and any attempt to access map attributes or overlay (intersect) the table causes the wxPython GUI to crash and a message appears on the console that grass was unable to open the old database name (error #16007.1) and unable to describe the table _LAB (error #16010.1).
After changing the postgres database name I ran db.connect to associate the new name with the location and mapset. It appears that this does not change where grass has the old name tucked away. The VAR file has the new database name. I want to better understand how grass interacts with postgres and where it needs to be modified to reflect the new database names. If this is in one of the db.* modules I missed seeing it.
