DESCRIPTIONv.in.db creates a new vector point map from database table or file containing coordinates.NOTESIf GRASS comes with OGR support than v.in.db allows importing data from different input files, eg. CSV or MS Excel (assuming that GDAL/OGR library is compiled with this support).v.in.db creates key column "cat" automatically when key option is not given. Note that this operation is possible to perform only when -t flag is not given. Currently, automated creation of key column is supported only when default DB driver for output vector map is SQLite driver otherwise key option must be specified by the user. Default DB driver is defined by db.connect. EXAMPLESCreating a map from PostgreSQL tablev.in.db driver=pg database="host=myserver.itc.it,dbname=mydb" \ table=pat_stazioni x=east y=north z=quota key=id output=pat_stazioni If an ID column is not present in the PostgreSQL table, a new column should be added. See PostgreSQL DB driver page for details. Creating a map from PostGISTo extract coordinate values from PostGIS, functions have to be used:v.in.db driver=pg database="host=myserver.itc.it,dbname=mydb" \ table=station x="x(geom)" y="y(geom)" z="z(geom)" key=id out=meteostations If an ID column is not present in the PostgreSQL table, a new column should be added. See PostgreSQL DB driver page for details. Alternatively a vector point map can be imported from PostGIS database using v.in.ogr. Creating a map from Open Document spreadsheet (ODS) fileA new vector point map is created from given sheet in ODS file. The database option points to the ODS file. Option table is the name of selected spreadsheet list, the key option is the identifier column:# preview table structure with OGR tool (table name is "Layer name" here): ogrinfo -al -so meteodata.ods # import sheet from ODS into map v.in.db key=ID table=mysheet x=long y=lat z=height output=meteodata \ driver=ogr database=meteodata.ods Creating a map from MS Excel fileA new vector point map is created from given sheet in MS Excel file. The database option points to the file in MS Excel format. Option table is name of the selected spreadsheet "List1":v.in.db table=List1 x=long y=lat z=height output=meteodata \ driver=ogr database=meteodata.xlsNote that in this example the key option is omitted. In this case v.in.db tries to add key column automatically. This requires SQLite to be a default DB driver. Creating a map from DBF tableA new 3D point vector map is created from DBF table. Column ’idcol’ contains unique row IDs. The database option is the directory where the DBF file is stored.v.in.db driver=dbf database=/home/user/tables/ table=pointsfile x=x y=y z=z \ key=idcol out=dtmpointsTo check result: v.info dtmpoints v.info -c dtmpoints If DB driver for output vector map is different from SQLite driver and an ID column is missing in the DBF file, it has to be added beforehand, e.g. with OpenOffice. Alternatively, import the table with db.in.ogr into GRASS and then with v.in.db from the imported table (db.in.ogr optionally adds an unique ID column). Creating a point map from DBF table for selected records onlyThe user can import only selected vector points from a table using the where parameter (see above for general DBF handling):v.in.db driver=dbf database=/home/user/tables/ table=pointsfile x=x y=y z=z \ key=idcol out=dtmpoints where="x NOT NULL and z > 100" Creating a map from SQLite tableA new vector point map is created from table in SQLite database file. Column ’idcol’ contains unique row IDs. The database option is the the SQLite database file.v.in.db driver=sqlite database=/home/user/tables/mysqlite.db table=pointsfile x=x y=y z=z \ key=idcol out=dtmpoints SEE ALSOdb.execute, db.in.ogr, v.info, v.in.geonames, v.in.ogr, v.to.dbSQL support in GRASS GIS AUTHORSRadim BlazekVarious updates for GRASS 7 by Martin Landa, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic SOURCE CODEAvailable at: v.in.db source code (history)Main index | Vector index | Topics index | Keywords index | Graphical index | Full index © 2003-2021 GRASS Development Team, GRASS GIS 7.8.6 Reference Manual
