#550: v.to.3d: column name case sensitive

Hi,

just had need to use v.to.3d for the first time. It's nice!

minor issue: the imported shapefile created columns named as:
{{{
INTEGER|cat
DOUBLE PRECISION|EASTING
DOUBLE PRECISION|NORTHING
DOUBLE PRECISION|ELEVATION
}}}
(using dbf driver)

I tried to use 'v.to.3d column=elevation' but it exited with the message:
{{{
ERROR: Column <elevation> not found in table <bathymetry_point>
}}}

It needed to see 'column=ELEVATION'. G_strcasecmp() or tolower() needed?

also that failure left an empty map behind.

thanks,
Hamish

Are column names case insensitive in all db backends ?

Dear all,

I have attached a little patch for v.in.dxf. This just makes a small but
useful addition:

it allows parsing of the 'handle' field which exists for every DXF
entity and provides a way for transporting small bits of data in the DXF
file.

The patch is against the current sources in:

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk

I am not sure which version of GRASS this should go into,
as it does add a new feature (but really just a tiny one).

Cheers,

Ben

It seems to be related to the db drivers, not v.to.3d.
