I have redone the shape file, I am attching it again, and this is the error I get when I am trying to open it. The location is in india and spans two UTM zones and therefore I used lat lons
Projection of input dataset and current location appear to match Layer: Meghalay DBMI-DBF driver error: ERROR: Unable to create table: 'create table Meghalay (cat integer, TYPE varchar ( 10 ), IDENT varchar ( 24 ), LAT double precision, LONG double precision, Y_PROJ double precision, X_PROJ double precision, NEW_SEG varchar ( 10 ), DISPLAY varchar ( 10 ), COLOR varchar ( 10 ), ALTITUDE double precision, DEPTH double precision, TEMP double precision, TIME varchar ( 20 ), MODEL varchar ( 20 ), FILENAME varchar ( 254 ), LTIME varchar ( 20 ))' On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 3:41 PM, Sonali Saha <[email protected]> wrote: > I am new GRASS use, and learning GRASS to use conservation literacy using > rare plant databases.
