[GRASS-user] GRASS 7 and SQLITE o POSTGRES

That would be simply great!

With SpatiaLite support evolving in GRASS, QGIS and (perhaps)
gvSIG, there would finally be a sane way for direct exchange
of vector data between open source GIS without crippling it
by going through abominations like Shapefiles.

The SQLite support in GRASS concerns the attribute management, not
geometries. To access geometries in a SpatiaLite, you have to go through
v.external.

Last Friday I met the SpatiaLite developer at the Italian GRASS/GFOSS
meeting (http://gfoss2009.crs4.it/) which was a great conference btw.

He is interested in linking GRASS and SpatiaLite, so maybe later
this year new features are added to put GRASS vector and also
raster data into SpatiaLite.

could be an asset important to work with open source.

Thanks
