[GRASS5] [bug #2810] (grass) the SQL language

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=2810
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standardize the way you mention SQL, e.g.,
$ lynx -dump db.execute.html|grep -i sql
   db.execute allows the user to execute SQL statements.
   Create a new table using a file with sql statements:
So always use uppercase.

And more importantly, on every man page that has examples of talking
to databases, mention it is "the SQL language" that you are using, or
else we are left scratching our heads wondering if that language has a
name or what.

I have fixed this severe bug in CVS.

And more importantly, on every man page that has examples of talking
to databases, mention it is "the SQL language" that you are using, or
else we are left scratching our heads wondering if that language has a

I have added the link to the GRASS SQL page to a couple
of pages in CVS. Please report further pages where it should be added.
