DESCRIPTION
v.db.dropcolumn drops a column from the attribute table connected to a
given vector map. It automatically checks the connection for the speci-
fied layer. v.db.dropcolumn omits to delete the ’cat’ column which is
relevant to keep the connection between vector map and table.
NOTES
v.db.dropcolumn is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage.
The existing database connection(s) can be verified with v.db.connect.
EXAMPLES
Dropping a column:
g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
v.info -c myroads
v.db.dropcolumn myroads column=SHAPE_LEN
v.info -c myroads
