removing the vector map does the same thing ...
I guess, the advantages in patching v.in.ascii to do
this are:
1. Many users who are not very knowledgeable in GRASS
shell scripting and using the DBMS modules (like myself,
obviously) would probably have a better chance of finding what they are
looking for.
2. For very large input tables we'll save some time and mem,
because no coordinate fields checking needs to be done and
creation of the dummy vector map can be skipped.
Disadvantage:
v.in.ascii code gets bloated with more conditionals.
+1 for the v.in.ascii approach as I think that will make it easier for
users and that if we can easily integrate this kind of functionality
into a C-module instead of creating a new script, this will reduce the
risk of portability issues that is inherent in shell scripts.
