DESCRIPTION
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.
EXAMPLES
Create a new SQLite file-based database
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
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
TODO
Support other database drivers, too.
