#2847: Allow users to define PG as their default DB backend globally
---------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: sbl | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.1.0
Component: Database | Version: unspecified
Keywords: db.connect,t.connect,PostgreSQL | CPU: Unspecified
Platform: All |
---------------------------------------------+-------------------------
There is currently no way to for user(s) to define PostgreSQL as their the
default DB backend (instead of SQLite). Other connection parameters than
the default have to be defined for each mapset using ''db.connect''.
Connection parameters are then stored in the mapset`s VAR file.
A global setting in e.g. a file $HOME/.grass7/dbconnect_default which may
contain e.g.:
{{{
driver=pg
database=MY_DATABASE
schema="$LOCATION_$MAPSET"
group=MY_GROUP_USER
}}}
would be nice.
But that would probably also require changes to the initialization of the
DB backend, if the default behavior (meaning SQLite) should be overwritten
(and would require that users are granted CREATE rights on SCHEMAs if one
wants to have a schema per location/mapset combination)...
Would be nice if such a setting could also be taken into account by
t.connect...
