I am having a heck of a time getting a connection to PostGIS/PostgreSQL
to work.
Quantum GIS 0.9.0 connects just fine by itself. I can add a layer to
Quantum GIS. My connection info for QGIS is
Name local
Host localhost
Database postgis
Port 5432
Username John
But if I try to do anything with the grass plugin to QGIS (I am trying
to us v.in.ogr) QGIS gives me the command
v.in.ogr 'dsn=PG:host=localhost dbname=postgis port=5432 user=John'
layer=locationmap output=stuff -o
and I get the following result:
Unable to open data source
Finished with error
I also installed grass63RC1 standalone. I got it running, but can't
connect to my data. I've tried every connection string I can think of,
and I always get
Unable to open datasource.
I went into the ControlPanel -> Administrative Tools -> Datasources and
defined an ODBC datasource that seems to connect to the database, but I
have no idea how to make Grass connect via a pre-defined ODBC connection.
I see this web page
http://grass.itc.it/grass63/manuals/html63_user/grass-odbc.html but it
seems to be unix specific. I'm on Windows.
What the heck am I doing wrong? Any and all ideas are much
appreciated. Arghh. QuantumGIS just doesn't do what I need, and I can
see the grass functionality, but can't use it! It's *so* frustrating!
Thanks,
