[GRASSLIST:6114] Re: Problem with d.vect.pg

Michael and Bruno, and others,
Maybe the answer is to simple, but did you set the color? Since you describe getting a number of rows found it seems that or the data is not send to your monitor (d.mon select="your monitor"), or it is send but in the same color as your background.
Maybe its more difficult,

I am very glad that you asked this question because I, too,
hope for some clarification on using the GRASS/PostGreSQL
interface from GRASSLIST participants.

As for your problem, is it possible that the column in the
database table referenced either as key=[column] in the
d.vect.pg statement or in the SELECT [column] of the sql
file does not correspond to the vector category values for
the map designated with map=[map] in the d.vect.pg
statement?

My understanding is that the SQL statement should return
exactly one column of numbers that correspond to the the
vector category values for the map designated with map=[map]
in the d.vect.pg statement.
