DESCRIPTION

40       db.createdb allows the user to create a new empty database through dif‐
41       ferent  drivers. A working database connection needs to be established,
42       see db.login.
43
44       Currently only SQLite and PostgreSQL database drivers are supported.
45

EXAMPLES

47   Create a new SQLite file-based database
48       Note that the standard GRASS GIS SQLite database is by  default  gener‐
49       ated  in the user’s current mapset. This example shows an out-of-mapset
50       database file creation:
51       db.createdb driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db
52
53   Create a new PostgreSQL database
54       Create a new PostgreSQL database (after the PostgreSQL  connection  got
55       established through the pg driver):
56       db.createdb driver=pg database=grassdb
57
58       Create  a  new PostgreSQL database (after the PostgreSQL connection got
59       established through the odbc driver):
60       db.createdb driver=odbc database=grassdb
61

TODO

63       Support other database drivers, too.
