Thanks for your reply. Its good to know that development is ongoing for this in GRASS, I sincerely want to work on this as my GSoc task. I have made a brief idea for the manager. The following are the various modules of the manager 1. Setup connection : This module will set up the connection with the remote database. It will take the input parameters from user and pass them to a connection string. After the connection has been established, the user will be shown the various tables(maps) that are stored and other information about the database and the connection 2. View and edit data : This will display the data of the table in a window frame. One can view the map and modify the table values or the attributes. 3. Import to GRASS Data : This gives the user an option to save the data in Grass format for further processing/analysis of the data. This also gives user an option to discard the data which is of no use. 4. Execute PostGis functions (geometry processing)on database and save output in grass data format. 5. SQL interface : This provides the advanced user to modify the database by use of direct SQL commands on the database. 6. Export GRASS data to PostGIS data : Convert the Grass Data to SQL database. First convert the Grass data to Esri Shapefile(.shp) using OGR and then converting that data to SQL database (shape2sql).
Since the PostGIS data model is much more flexible than a Shapefile: Why not directly convert the GRASS data to PostGIS WKB/WKT? Ben
7. Projection support : I was also thinking of adding projection support to the manager. These are the various major points for a spatial database manager I can think of. Can you please provide me your suggestions. Looking forward to your support as the time left to apply is very less.
