The possibility to keep in a database the relation between
geometry objects in a map and more tables/records was
considered during the development of GRASS 6.0. It does
not appear to be better solutin because all the geometry
processing is done in files. Example: Say that we have
one layer with 2 loverlapping lines linked to 2 records in
one table.
            1
+-----------------------+ 2
                +-------------------------+

Now we want to clean data and remove the duplicated part,
we run v.clean tool=break,rmdupl result (in current
implementation):
         1 1,2 2
+--------------+--------+----------------+

Are you indicating by this example that within a single
layer a geographic object can have more than one link to a
table, or is the result of this operation two layers?

More links to a table.

More links to a table.

I mùust be very dense, but then what does this have to do with layers ? Everything you do above is in one layer, or ?
