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.
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 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
db.in.ogr input=/path/to/sqlite.db db_table=census_raleigh output=census_raleigh
# 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
To force reading headers, define environmental
variable
OGR_XLS_HEADERS='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
db.select,
v.in.ogr,
v.in.db
