Wrong database driver (dbf instead of sqlite) for showing attribute table with tcltk gui

[marmai]

I think within the tcltk gui there is a problem when using another database than dbf.

Within the nc dataset I opened the sqlite mapset and copied the geology map to the splite mapset with:

~> g.copy vect=geology@PERMANENT,geology

Now there should be the geology map with the sqlite database. Then I tried to show the attribute table of the geology map by using the tcl/tk GUI (the button in the lower part of the GIS Manager window). By clicking the button 'Show attribute data' the following command is sent to the GIS.m window:

db.select table=geology database=/home/martin/GISDataBase/nc_spm_08/sqlite/sqlite.db driver=dbf

Note the driver option! This command fails with the error:

Cannot open dbf database: /home/martin/GISDataBase/nc_spm_08/sqlite/sqlite.db

By correcting the driver option to sqlite everything works fine. By the way: v.db.connect -p geology shows the correct sqlite driver.

I am working with the 6.4.0RC4 (from: ​http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_10.3) at OpenSuse 10.3 system.
