NAME

db.dropcol - Drops a column from selected attribute table

KEYWORDS

database, attribute table

SYNOPSIS

db.dropcol
db.dropcol help
db.dropcol [-f] table=name column=string [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-f

Force removal (required for actual deletion of files)
--verbose

Verbose module output
--quiet

Quiet module output

Parameters:

table=name

Table from which to drop attribute column
column=string

Name of the column

DESCRIPTION

db.dropcol drops a column from an attribute table. If the -f force flag is not given then nothing is removed, instead a preview of the action to be taken is printed.

NOTES

db.dropcol is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage with a special workaround for the SQLite driver to support column drop.

EXAMPLES

Dropping a column (Spearfish):


# work on own copy
g.copy vect=roads,myroads
db.describe -c myroads

# only shows what would happen:
db.dropcol myroads column=label

# actually drops the column
db.dropcol -f myroads column=label

db.describe -c myroads
