PostGIS data provider in GRASS 7

PostGIS data can be accessed in GRASS 7 using GRASS-OGR data provider or preferably by native GRASS-PostGIS data provider. Note that GRASS-OGR data provider supports only simple feature access.

Development of PostGIS data provider has been supported by ​Fondazione Edmund Mach and ​Comune di Trento (Italy).

This data provider allows GRASS to read (see read_pg.c​) and write (see write_pg.c​) PostGIS data directly without any external library (like in the case of GRASS-OGR data provider). GRASS-PostGIS data provider is implemented using ​libpq library.
