NAME
pg.in.dbf - Imports a dBase table into PostgreSQL. (GRASS-RDBMS
Interface import Program)
SYNOPSIS
pg.in.dbf
pg.in.dbf help
pg.in.dbf input=name [dumpmode=name]
DESCRIPTION
pg.in.dbf imports a dBase database table into PostgreSQL for later
use with GRASS-RDBMS modules.
You can also choose to dump data from the dbf file into text format
file for further use. In such case,
you should type in the full Unix path to the new text file location
when prompted.
The program can run in two modes: 'admin' is when the GRASS user has
a superuser account in Postgres,
'normal' - when the Postgres user is normal (not administrator).
You should choose the mode adequately.
In the latter case, large files can take much time to import (as each
line would be inserted separately).

-

dumpmode=name
