[GRASS-user] v.in.ogr should support postgis schemas

Since more than one year the ogr PostGIS driver supports PostGIS schemas. For good DB-Modelling schemas are very essential. Unfortunately the v.in.ogr command doesn’t support PostGIS schemas till today. How are the plans to introduce PostGIS schema support for v.in.ogr?

I agree that schema support is essential. In Postgis one cannot join
tables from different databases, but it works well across schemas. So in
practice, all data usually ends up in one big database, but organized in
schemas. So yes, please, I also would very much appreciate if v.in.ogr
would support schemas.

Thank you for considering this improvement.

Hi,

I am confused:
http://grass.itc.it/grass63/manuals/html63_user/v.in.ogr.html
-> Support of database schema

Is this not what you need?
