[GRASS5] dbmi Protocol Error with v.db.connect

Hi everyone,

This is my first attempt to access the attributes of a shape file, with the shape file existing elsewhere -- and linked using v.external. Obviously I'm doing something wrong here -- can someone set me straight?

Thanks in advance!

There was a bug in ogr driver. v.db.connect -c was also buggy. Both fixed.
