It automatically checks the connection for the specified layer. <h2>NOTES</h2> v.db.addcol is a front-end to <em>db.execute</em> to allow easier usage. The supported types of columns depend on the database backend. However, all backends should support VARCHAR, INT, DOUBLE/REAL and DATE. The default dbf backend supports only these types. The existing database connection(s) can be verified with <em>v.db.connect</em>. <h2>EXAMPLES</h2> Adding a single column:<br> <div class="code"><pre> v.db.addcol sentiero_brenta_points columns="slope double precision" v.info -c sentiero_brenta_points </pre></div> <p> Adding two columns:<br> <div class="code"><pre> v.db.addcol sentiero_brenta_points columns="slope double precision,myname varchar(15)" v.info -c sentiero_brenta_points </pre></div> <h2>SEE ALSO</h2> <em><a HREF="db.execute.html">db.execute</a></em>, <em><a HREF="v.db.addtable.html">v.db.addtable</a></em>, <em><a HREF="v.db.connect.html">v.db.connect</a></em>, <em><a HREF="v.db.dropcol.html">v.db.dropcol</a></em>, <em><a HREF="v.db.droptable.html">v.db.droptable</a></em>, <em><a HREF="v.db.select.html">v.db.select</a></em>, <em><a HREF="v.db.update.html">v.db.update</a></em> <h2>AUTHOR</h2> Moritz Lennert (mlennert@club.worldonline.be) <p><i>Last changed: $Date: 2007-02-05 15:33:02 +0100 (Mon, 05 Feb 2007) $</i> <HR> <P><a href="index.html">Main index</a> - <a href="vector.html">vector index</a> - <a href="full_index.html">Full index</a></P> <P>© 2003-2008 <a href="http://grass.osgeo.org">GRASS Development Team</a></p> </body> </html>
