[GRASS-user] Problems with v.external

yes, PostgreSQL works in ogr. I also use it to import Interlis data to
Postgis.

Supported Formats:
  -> "ESRI Shapefile" (read/write)
  -> "MapInfo File" (read/write)
  -> "UK .NTF" (readonly)
  -> "SDTS" (readonly)
  -> "TIGER" (read/write)
  -> "S57" (read/write)
  -> "DGN" (read/write)
  -> "VRT" (readonly)
  -> "AVCBin" (readonly)
  -> "REC" (readonly)
  -> "Memory" (read/write)
  -> "CSV" (read/write)
  -> "GML" (read/write)
  -> "KML" (read/write)
  -> "Interlis 1" (read/write)
  -> "Interlis 2" (read/write)
  -> "PostgreSQL" (read/write)
  -> "GRASS" (readonly)

Seems to be another problem. Maybe with the quotes ...

hi Andreas,

it seems to work here. Could it be that your OGR installation is
not compiled with PG support?
ogrinfo --formats
tells you.

Hello,

I am trying to use postgis datasets read-only using v.external. However,
I
am having problems. Here is my command:

v.external dsn="PG:host=localhost dbname=uster user=an password=mypw"
layer=natur.naturnahe_gaerten output=gaerten

And here is my error message:

Sorry, <dbname> is not a valid parameter
Sorry, <user> is not a valid parameter
Sorry, <password> is not a valid parameter

I expected to run into problems with schemas, maybe, but not with the
login. What am I doing wrong in the dsn parameters?

Thanks for any hints,
Andreas
