hi all, I have a .dbf file holding the attribute info - result of importing a .dgn file using v.in.ogr. The file is in /home/knoppix/grassdata/spearfish60/user1/dbf directory (I am using live CD). I wish to set up a ODBC connection with a Postgres SQL DB and import the .dbf file to pg for advanced querying options. I have been able to start postgres SQL service on port 5432. It is running. But when I do a createdb command from grass console I get a prompt that role <knoppix> does not exist. or role <root> doesnot exist. What do I have to do .... to create a new DB in postgresSQL from grass console and then import the .dbf layer to it. Actually I am writting a shell script .. so it is important to do this from the Grass console. Is there a way to do what I wan't from the Grass console....one more thing the db.createdbcommand when entered in the grass console says that no such command ... so I am using createdb. Thanks nishith
