DESCRIPTION

v.external.all creates (using v.external) in the current mapset new pseudo-vector maps for all OGR layers from given OGR datasource (input option).

EXAMPLES

PostGIS

List available feature tables in given PostGIS database

v.external.all -l input=PG:dbname=pgis_nc

PostGIS database contains 55 feature table(s):
boundary_county
boundary_municp
bridges
busroute1
busroute11
busroute6
busroute_a
busroutesall
busstopsall
censusblk_swwake
census_wake2000
...

Create links (ie. pseudo-vector maps) in the current mapset for all PostGIS feature tables

v.external.all input=PG:dbname=pgis_nc

Esri Shapefile

v.external.all -l input=~/geodata/ncshape/
Data source (format 'ESRI Shapefile')
contains 44 layers:
poi_names_wake
schools_wake
urbanarea
geodetic_swwake_pts
usgsgages
busroute_a
busroute6
hospitals
...

v.external.all -l input=~/geodata/ncshape/
