[GRASS-user] [GRASSLIST:1171] GRASS-commands and sql-statements: wildcards not possible?

Hi list,
A short question on sql-commands in GRASS: is there a possibility to use
wildcards in sql-statements? Using QGIS, I found out that the advance search
function does allow statements like [coloum name] like 'Pattern%', but this
does not work with GRASS. "*" also does not do the job...

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Wolfgang,

GRASS 6.1 supports wildcards (the DBF driver limited, the other drivers
like standard SQL):

-> Example of pattern matching
