db.out.ogr(1grass)          GRASS GIS User's Manual         db.out.ogr(1grass)

NAME
       db.out.ogr  - Exports attribute tables into various formats.

KEYWORDS
       database, export, output, attribute table

SYNOPSIS
       db.out.ogr
       db.out.ogr --help
       db.out.ogr  input=name output=name  [layer=string]  format=string  [ta-
       ble=name]   [--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:
       input=name [required]
           GRASS table name
           Or data source for direct OGR access

       output=name [required]
           Output table file name or DB connection string

       layer=string
           Layer number or name
           Vector features can have category values in different layers.  This
           number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR ac-
           cess this is the layer name.
           Default: 1

       format=string [required]
           Table format
           Options: CSV, DBF, GML, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite
           Default: CSV

       table=name
           Name for output table (default: input name)

DESCRIPTION
       db.out.ogr exports GRASS GIS attribute tables into various  formats  as
       supported  by the OGR driver on the local system (CSV, DBF, PostgreSQL,
       SQLite, MySQL, ODBC, etc.).

       The output parameter is used to define the output  file  name  (if  the
       path  is  not  defined, the module will attempt to write to the current
       directory). In case of a database connection as output, the  connection
       string has to be specified.

       The  layer parameter is needed if the attribute table to be exported is
       linked as non-default layer to a vector map.

EXAMPLES
   Export of GRASS GIS attribute table to a CSV table file (default format)
       db.out.ogr input=precip_30ynormals output=precip_30ynormals.csv

   Export of a GRASS GIS attribute table to a DBF table
       db.out.ogr input=precip_30ynormals output=precip_30ynormals.dbf format=DBF

   Export of GRASS GIS attribute table into a PostgreSQL table
       db.out.ogr input=precip_30ynormals \
               output="PG:host=localhost dbname=meteo user=neteler" \
                  format=PostgreSQL
       # verify
       echo "SELECT * FROM precip_30ynormals" | psql meteo
