DESCRIPTION

41       db.dropcolumn drops a column from an attribute table.  If the -f  force
42       flag  is  not  given  then nothing is removed, instead a preview of the
43       action to be taken is printed.
44

NOTES

46       db.dropcolumn is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage with a
47       special  workaround  for  the SQLite driver to support column drop also
48       for SQLite tables.

EXAMPLE

51       Dropping a column (North Carolina sample dataset):
52
53       # work on own copy
54       g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
55       db.describe -c myroads
56       # only shows what would happen:
57       db.dropcolumn myroads column=SHAPE_LEN
58       # actually drops the column
59       db.dropcolumn -f myroads column=SHAPE_LEN
60       db.describe -c myroads
