Hello. I desperately try to connect to a PostgreSQL DB server using GRASS (6.4.0 as from the recent ports). The documentation of GRASS, even the most recent one, reports using the 'driver=pg' option. Having already set up a database in PostgreSQL (server 9.0.4), the admin user properly specified is capable to connect from console (terminal) or pgadmin3 client. But using GRASS, only 'dbf', 'sqlite' and 'ogr' as drivers are offered. I tried to figure out whether 'ogr' could cover postgresql connects, but there isn't any information about that, not even in GRASS' documentation (I haven't found any yet). I suspect the 'pg'-driver isn't correctly included in GRASS so I'd like to ask someone already has used PostgreSQL as the DB backend for GRASS GIS. Thanks in advance. Oliver
