Richard,

    When I stepped back to look at the forest instead of the individual trees
I appreciate that I should have understood this; except I've not before
worked with an external database. Mea culpa!

    Since each mapset has it's own dbf/ directory for GRASS-internal vector
attributes, each mapset needs it's own external database, too.

    g.copy now works.

Thank you,

Rich

Rich,

My pleasure. I remember how much pain the database parameters caused me, when I was learning both Grass-GIS and MySQL at the same time!

Cheers,
Richard Chirgwin
