Hi again, wxGUI 6.4.2RC2 continued:
create a new vector, with default option of adding a new table. When I then choose to delete the vector (g.remove via File > Manage maps and volumes) I can delete the vector. Watching the PostgreSQL database using PGAdmin3, when I create the vector "testing" it creates a table by same name. when I delete the vector, the table goes too. This is using default settings in g.remove. I did not even choose the 'force remove' option. I am fairly sure that previously (e.g. tcltk GUI), the process of deleting a vector/raster DID NOT delete the table it was connected to by default; one had to choose to do that (or even use a different tool to delete the table). I found that if I dropped a table (using v.db.connect) from a vector prior to deleting the vector, the table was not deleted. This seems to me a dangerous default, because the same thing caught me out in ~RC1, where I connected a test vector to an existing table, then when I deleted the test vector, my rather important table was taken out with it! Can anyone else debunk or support my experience here? I would consider this a fairly serious 'bug' if it is repeatable and not just an artefact of my system setup. -shane. _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
