v.db.addcol

NAME

v.db.addcol

DESCRIPTION

v.db.addcol adds one or more column(s) to the attribute table connected to a given vector map. It automatically checks the connection for the specified layer.

NOTES

v.db.addcol is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage. The supported types of columns depend on the database backend. However, all backends should support VARCHAR, INT, DOUBLE/REAL and DATE. The default dbf backend supports only these types. The existing database connection(s) can be verified with v.db.connect.

EXAMPLES

Adding a single column:
v.db.addcol sentiero_brenta_points columns="slope double precision"
v.info -c sentiero_brenta_points

Adding two columns:
v.db.addcol sentiero_brenta_points columns="slope double precision,myname varchar(15)"
v.info -c sentiero_brenta_points
