Hi all,
I have a question on Database management with GRASS 5.7...
In the part of the tutorial "Geometry Stored in PostGRASS database table using PostGIS" (http://grass.itc.it/grass51/tutorial/geom_storage.html#PostGRASS)
The example says to take a shape file registered with v.shape.register and use
v.convert to import it into a PostGRES database with PostGIS format.
It did not work with me (gives me a "vector map not found" error), and the man page for v.convert says that it is used to convert 5.0 vectors to 5.1...
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?

v.convert converts 5.0 vectors to 5.7 format. If you want to store vectors in
PostGIS, run v.in.ogr.

I have fixed the tutorial. Thanks for notification.
