#1862: Corrections GRASS 7.0 help files db.connect and v.db.connect
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: pvanbosgeo | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0.0
Component: Default | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: | Platform: Unspecified
Cpu: Unspecified |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
In db.connect, it is suggested the default driver is dbf
For both db.connect and v.db.connect the default database name is said to
be $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/
This is obviously not a defect, but there does not seem to be a 'ticket
type' that fits the bill in this case. Perhaps one can added for reports
about issues in the help files / documentation?
Ah, OK, had overlooked that component tag, that is what happens when trying to file a ticket quickly in between other tasks :-/ . Anyway, good to know for next time. I guess even patches for the manual pages require some serious programming background… otherwise I would have been happy to provide them.

not at all. You may post the change suggestions even as email and
we'll merge them in manually, not too much work in this case.
I just don't manage to write the better examples myself in this period.
OK, as an example, in db.connect, the ‘offending’ text is under the ‘Parameter’ heading. The default driver name and the default database name should change (marked with >>):

Do not use this option if schemas are not supported by driver/database
server
group=string
Default group of database users to which select privilege is granted
--------------------
Just for my understanding, these parts of the manual page are not in the
html file
(http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk/db/db.connect/db.connect.html) and
I
assume they are generated / parsed from the actual code? With no
understanding of the source code (I had a look out of curiosity, but that
was an exercise in futility), I was wondering how/if I could suggest
changes
that would actually be more helpful then just mentioning them like above.
I think the demolocation in the source tree needs to be changed to
sqlite, because db.connect and v.db.connect use
db_get_default_*_name().

The demolocation adjusted for trunk in r54771. The manuals will be
updated after make distclean; configure; make.
