Hello,
GRASS advertises a link to the RIM relational database
management system. I am currently in the process of
creating a RIM database from my GRASS database. But
it seems that I must do this "by hand". I have finished
creating the definition of the RIM database. I will
now start writing a program to read through my GRASS
database, extract header information from all the data
files, and put that into my RIM database.
So is that the way to do it, or have I missed something
that can facilitate this process? Once this is complete,
are there GRASS programs that can take advantage of the
information in the RIM database, or is it up to me to
create such applications?
Thank you for your time.

I found manual pages for the following:
v.in.tig.rim
tig.rim.sh
s.db.rim
s.db.rim.old
v.db.rim
v.db.rim.old
You'll find the source code for these programs under src.garden (yes,
you'll have to compile, if you haven't already). You might find the
grass/informix programs more useful, if you have that database. That code
has also been adapted for a couple other relational databases; I'm sure
someone else on this list could provide more information along that line.
Good luck,
-Malcolm
