GRASS modules: v.out.ogr wrong for PostGIS

[pcav]

the module v.out.ogr does not work for exporting data to PostGIS, as the module misses the crucial parameters (dbname etc.) for this format.

[neteler]

The problem is not clear to me, on cmd line one has to enter:

v.out.ogr input=polygons type=area \
          dsn="PG:host=localhost dbname=postgis user=postgres" \
          olayer=polymap format=PostgreSQL

Is it impossible to define dsn like that or just annoying? If the latter, could different fields be defined and composed on the fly to one dsn string?

Fixed in revision 10899. Added new script + qgis module with separate fields for each db connection parameter.

I just tried those two scripts using QGIS 1.2 w/ GRASS 6.5.svn. I get a error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bobm/usr/share/qgis/grass/scripts/qgis.v.out.ogr.pg2.py", line 137, in <module>
    options, flags = grass.parser()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'parser'

I did a little check and found that this errors is related to a reorganization of grass.py (see ​http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/37447). I'm attaching a patch that seems to fix this problem.

Btw, I wasn't sure if I should reopen this ticket or submit a new one?
