I had a simple attribute table working using the sqlite driver, and had
successfully digitized a dozen or so areas in a couple of sessions. Now
the table has disappeared according to various tools. I have only one
layer in my map area. when I try to add a table so I can rebuild my
data, addtable complains that there is already a link to a table from
layer 1, so I cannot start over. Any suggestions for how to proceed
(and how to avoid this in the future) would be appreciated.
Version is 6.4.2 under fedora 16 64-bit.

David -

The table might be gone, but Grass-GIS still thinks it exists - you have to delete the connection to the table:

v.db.connect -d <map> <table_name>

Then you'd recreate a table with v.db.addtable
