[GRASS-dev] [bug #5167] (grass) v.patch: -a(ppend) issues

If you try

v.db.select map2
ERROR: Database connection not defined

you see that there is no DB connection. Why? Because v.random
doesn't attach a table (use v.db.addtable for this).

Sorry but I don't get it. Why are you talking about a table? The "v.patch -a"
has nothing to do with it.

The given v.patch command looks pretty unusual to me:
- append to an existing map where you have to specify "overwrite"??
Pretty counterintuitive!

Anyway, isn't that strange that the output of a valid command (according to
manual) is corrupted, so that GRASS can use it and QGIS can't, until v.build
is run on it?

I do realize that the command looks strange, but I thought this issue might be
and indicator of something wrong with v.patch.

Closing,

Hmm.
