if i execute the following command of the example above in the command-line of the GRASS Gis Layer Manager:

v.db.addcol map=vrandb2@user1 columns="barea double precision"

i get the following message:

Sorry <double> is not a valid option <= Sorry <precision"> is not a valid option <= Description: Adds one or more columns to the attribute table connected to a given vector map. Keywords: vector, database, attribute table Usage: v.db.addcol map=name [layer=value] columns=string [--verbose] [--quiet]

map Vector map for which to edit attribute table

layer Layer where to add column

columns Name and type of the new column(s) (types depend on database backend, but all support VARCHAR(), INT, DOUBLE PRECISION and DATE)

i tried this also on the mingw32-commandline in Grass6-devel, build from source rev. 36355 in the osgeo4w-tree:

GRASS 6.5.svn (nc_spm_08):c:/Users/syringia > v.db.addcol mygeodetic_pts col="zval double precision" c:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.5.svn/scripts/v.db.addcol: eval: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ` c:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.5.svn/scripts/v.db.addcol: eval: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file c:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.5.svn/scripts/v.db.addcol: GISDBASE: parameter null or not set GRASS 6.5.svn (nc_spm_08):c:/Users/syringia >

Replying to hellik:

g.gisenv --v

GISDBASE='C:\gisdata\grassdata'; LOCATION_NAME='gisdemo_ncspm'; MAPSET='user1'; GRASS_GUI='wxpython'; "DEBUG='3"';

I just observed that the DEBUG row has incorrect syntax. If you today run g.gisenv again, does it look the same? If yes, either delete the row in $HOME/.grassrc6 or set it again with

g.gisenv set=DEBUG=3

Two ideas

  • OSGeo "shell" package needs to be installed?

Just guessing, Markus

i had to delete the row in $HOME/.grassrc6 and set it again, now it's look ok like:

GISDBASE='C:\gisdata\grassdata'; LOCATION_NAME='nc_spm_08'; MAPSET='user1'; GRASS_GUI='wxpython'; DEBUG='3';

Just guessing, Markus

build GRASS6.5 from source, svn 36355, in the osgeo4w-tree on Win Vista

i started Grass 6.5 from the Osgeo4W-Shell after setting correct debug=3 and tried the above v.db.addcol-command.

now the column seems to be added:

db.columns --verbose table=mygeodetic_pts cat OBJECTID .. SCALE ANGLE zvala <= zvalb <=

and

db.describe table=mygeodetic_pts [...] column:zvalb description: type:DOUBLE PRECISION len:20 scale:6 precision:18 default: nullok:yes select:yes update:yes

but i tried it again from the wx-gui-command-line, there is the first error again:

v.db.addcol mygeodetic_pts col="zvalc double precision" Sorry <double> is not a valid option Sorry <precision"> is not a valid option [...]

so adding the osgeo4w-shell would be maybe a part of the solution. but the wx-command-line should also work?

all the best Helmut

No, see trac #528 - the wx-command-line is currently eating the "" to my knowledge. Markus

maybe badly explained in my reply before by me: "i started Grass 6.5 from the Osgeo4W-Shell after setting correct debug=3 and tried the above v.db.addcol-command."

the v.db.addcol-command was applied in the osgeo4w-shell by me and is working there. :o)

so therefore "adding the osgeo4w-shell" would be a part of the solution.

and my second "question": "but the wx-command-line should also work?"

i've got to this (trac #528) by working out the examples in www.grass-book.org (the examples with r.mapcalc), so IMHO wx-command-line should should work before WinGrass with WxGUI goes out in the wild.

all the best Helmut

AFAIK this was fixed a couple of months ago and the wx Cmd> prompt now parses bourne-like quoting syntax successfully.
