NAME
t.vect.db.select - Prints attributes of vector maps registered in a
space time vector dataset.
KEYWORDS
temporal, attribute table, vector, database, select, time
SYNOPSIS
t.vect.db.select
t.vect.db.select --help
t.vect.db.select input=name [columns=name[,name,...]] [separa-
tor=character] [layer=string] [where=sql_query]
[t_where=sql_query] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of the input space time vector dataset
columns=name[,name,...]
Name of attribute column(s)
separator=character
Field separator character between the output columns
Special characters: pipe, comma, space, tab, newline
Default: pipe
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
where=sql_query
WHERE conditions of SQL statement without ’where’ keyword
Example: income < 1000 and population >= 10000
t_where=sql_query
WHERE conditions of SQL statement without ’where’ keyword used in
the temporal GIS framework
Example: start_time > ’2001-01-01 12:30:00’
DESCRIPTION
The module t.vect.db.select prints attributes of vector maps registered
in a space time vector dataset.
EXAMPLE
The example is querying the shoreline space time dataset:
t.vect.db.select input=shoreline
start_time|end_time|cat|DESCR|SOURCE|DATE
1849|1873|1|T-736|NOAA/USGS|01/01/1858
1849|1873|2|T-657|NOAA/USGS|01/01/1857
1849|1873|3|T-381(2)|NOAA/USGS|01/01/1852
1849|1873|4|T-381(1)|NOAA/USGS|01/01/1852

In the following example it print only DATE and SOURCE columns for data
before 1900-01-01.
t.vect.db.select input=shoreline column=DATE,SOURCE t_where="start_time < 1900"
start_time|end_time|DATE|SOURCE
