2) Creating a map from PostGIS: To extract coordinate values from PostGIS, functions have to be used:
v.in.db driver=pg database="host=myserver.itc.it,dbname=mydb,user=name" \
table=station x="x(geom)" y="y(geom)" z="z(geom)" key=id out=meteostations
3) Import of a points table (x, y, z) from DBF file to vector points map:
The DBF file has to be copied into $MAPSET/dbf/ (to be created if not existing yet). Then the DBMI needs to be connected to this directory:
#check current DB settings:
db.connect -p
#only needed, if not already defined:
db.connect driver=dbf database='$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/'
#create vector map from DBF table ('idcol' is containing unique row IDs):
v.in.db table=pointsfile x=x y=y z=z key=idcol out=dtmpoints
#check result:
v.info dtmpoints
v.info -c dtmpoints
