Input data fragment: name,lon,lat,elev,sampdate,prcp Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-01,0.59 Six fields comma separated. Command: v.in.ascii in=$HOME/projects/data/precipitation/rainfall.csv skip=1 out=precip sep=comma columns='name varchar, lon double precision, lat double precision, elev double precision, sampdate varchar, prcp double precision' x=2 y=3 z=4 --o Six columns defined.
