SYNOPSIS
db.copy
db.copy --help
db.copy [from_driver=name] [from_database=name] [from_table=name]
[to_driver=name] [to_database=name] to_table=name [where=sql_query]
[select=string] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet]
[--ui]
Flags:
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
from_driver=name
Input driver name
Options: dbf, mysql, odbc, ogr, pg, sqlite
Default: sqlite
from_database=name
Input database name
Default: $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db
from_table=name
Input table name (only, if ’select’ is not used)
to_driver=name
Output driver name
Options: dbf, mysql, odbc, ogr, pg, sqlite
Default: sqlite
to_database=name
Output database name
Default: $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db
to_table=name [required]
Output table name
where=sql_query
WHERE conditions of SQL statement without ’where’ keyword
Example: income < 1000 and population >= 10000
select=string
Full select statement (only, if ’from_table’ and ’where’ is not
used)
E.g.: SELECT dedek FROM starobince WHERE obec = ’Frimburg’
DESCRIPTION
db.copy allows the user to copy a table between two databases. Data-
bases can be connected through different drivers (see examples below).
NOTES
Attribute tables can be copied using db.copy and, when to be associated
to a vector map, assigned to the map with v.db.connect. Current connec-
tion settings are saved in the file $LOCATION/vector_map/dbln.
EXAMPLES
From DBF to PostgreSQL
Storing table ’geonames.dbf’ (in current directory) into PostgreSQL
through ODBC:
db.copy from_driver=dbf from_database=’$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/PERMANENT/dbf’ \
from_table=geonames to_driver=pg to_database="host=pgserver,dbname=testdb" \
to_table=geonames
From PostgreSQL to DBF
db.copy from_driver=pg from_database="host=pgserver.example.org,dbname=testdb" \
from_table=origtable to_driver=dbf \
to_database=’$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf’ to_table=origtable
From PostgreSQL to PostgreSQL with condition
db.copy from_driver=pg from_database="host=localhost,dbname=testdb" \
from_table=geonames to_driver=pg to_database="host=localhost,dbname=testdb" \
to_table=selection where="cat < 500"
From DBF to SQLite
db.copy from_driver=dbf from_database=’$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/PERMANENT/dbf’ \
from_table=geonames_features to_driver=sqlite \
to_database=’$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db’ to_table=geonames_features

From SQLite to DBF
db.copy from_driver=sqlite from_database=’$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db’ \
from_table=ammprv to_driver=dbf to_database=’$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/’ \
to_table=ammprv
