v.to.3d: column name case sensitive

[hamish]

Hi,

just had need to use v.to.3d for the first time. It's nice!

minor issue: the imported shapefile created columns named as:

INTEGER|cat
DOUBLE PRECISION|EASTING
DOUBLE PRECISION|NORTHING
DOUBLE PRECISION|ELEVATION

(using dbf driver)

I tried to use 'v.to.3d column=elevation' but it exited with the message:

ERROR: Column <elevation> not found in table <bathymetry_point>

It needed to see 'column=ELEVATION'. G_strcasecmp() or tolower() needed?

also that failure left an empty map behind.

thanks, Hamish

Fixed in r38297.

It seems to be related to the db drivers, not v.to.3d.

The fix has been backported to G6 long time ago, closing.
