[GRASS-user] GRASS and DB, can I view VIEWS?

Hi all,

when I connect GRASS with PG I can alter the table (create new columns
and alter data) and view these changes with grass.

It is possible to create a VIEW in PG and connect the results with grass
(without PostGIS!) ??

My thoughts are these: if I want create a VIEW it must have an different
name to the table, which is connectet with grass. And by this the view
can't get in contact??

I know I can alter the table and add information by this way to the
geometry, but when I could view an VIEW it would be much smarter!

Any ideas?

Thank you

Greetings from georg

Yes you can connect a map to a view, just as you would connect it to a table, using v.db.connect.
