db.createdb allows the user to create a new empty database
through different drivers. A working database connection needs to be
established, see
db.login.
Currently only SQLite
and PostgreSQL database drivers are
supported.
Note that the standard GRASS GIS SQLite database is by default
generated in the user's current mapset. This example shows an
out-of-mapset database file creation:
db.createdb driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db
Create a new PostgreSQL database (after the PostgreSQL connection got
established through the
pg driver):
db.createdb driver=pg database=grassdb
Create a new PostgreSQL database (after the PostgreSQL connection got
established through the odbc driver):
db.createdb driver=odbc database=grassdb
Support other database drivers, too.
