Hello list, i am using GRASS 6.4svn to merge adjacent poylgons into larger units. The merging is controlled by a column of type CHAR:
v.dissolve input=counties output=counties_merged_fips1 column=FIPS_1 results in dbmi: Protocol error ERROR: Cannot open select cursor: SELECT cat, FIPS_1 FROM counties ORDER BY FIPS_1 ERROR: Unable to open vector map <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on topology level 2 WARNING: Table <counties_fips1_22157> linked to vector map <counties_fips1_22157> does not exist ERROR: Vector map <counties_fips1> not found in the current mapset v.dissolve works correctly when applied to an INT column. I assume this is a bugfeature - string-based dissolving would be great to have at some point. For now, does anybody have a (DBdriver-)SQL-hack to transmogrify strings like "GRASS001", "GRASS002", "GRASS003" into the Integers 1,2,3 ? (aka getting rid of the "GRASS"-part of the string) ?
