Do you mean the column name of the input vector changed? > > Also, although the input has a dbf file, the output does not. If the column is integer or not specified, there is no need for a new attribute table because the new categories are either the same like the old categories or identical to the values in <column>. You could dun v.db.addtable in order to get an attribute table, but that does not add any new information.
