DESCRIPTION
       db.in.ogr  imports  attribute tables in various formats as supported by
       the OGR library on the local  system  (DBF,  CSV,  PostgreSQL,  SQLite,
       MySQL, ODBC, etc.). Optionally a unique key (ID) column can be added to
       the table.

EXAMPLES
   Import CSV file
       Limited type recognition can be done for Integer, Real,  String,  Date,
       Time  and DateTime columns through a descriptive file with same name as
       the CSV file, but .csvt extension (see details here).
       # NOTE: create koeppen_gridcode.csvt first for automated type recognition
       db.in.ogr input=koeppen_gridcode.csv output=koeppen_gridcode
       db.select table=koeppen_gridcode

   Import DBF table
       Import of a DBF table with additional unique key column  (e.g.,  needed
       for v.in.db).
       db.in.ogr input=/path/to/mydata.dbf output=census_raleigh key=myid
       db.describe -c census_raleigh

   Import of a SQLite table
       db.in.ogr input=/path/to/sqlite.db db_table=census_raleigh output=census_raleigh

   Import of a PostgreSQL table
       # HINT: if the database contains spatial tables, but you want to import a non-spatial
       table, set the environmental variable PG_LIST_ALL_TABLES to YES before importing
       db.in.ogr input="PG:host=localhost dbname=ecad user=neteler" \
                 db_table=ecad_verona_tmean output=ecad_verona_tmean
       db.select table=ecad_verona_tmean
       db.describe -c ecad_verona_tmean

   Import XLS file
       To  force  reading headers, define environmental variable OGR_XLS_HEAD-
       ERS=’FORCE’. Parameter db_table refers to the list within XLS file.
       export OGR_XLS_HEADERS=’FORCE’
       db.in.ogr input=address.xls db_table=address_data
