31   Parameters:
32       map=name [required]
33           Name of vector map
34           Or data source for direct OGR access
35
36       layer=string
37           Layer number or name
38           Vector  features can have category values in different layers. This
39           number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR ac‐
40           cess this is the layer name.
41           Default: 1
42
43       columns=name[,name,...] [required]
44           Name of attribute column(s) to drop
45

DESCRIPTION

47       v.db.dropcolumn  drops a column from the attribute table connected to a
48       given vector map. It automatically checks the connection for the speci‐
49       fied  layer.  v.db.dropcolumn omits to delete the ’cat’ column which is
50       relevant to keep the connection between vector map and table.
51

NOTES

53       v.db.dropcolumn is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage.
54
55       The existing database connection(s) can be verified with v.db.connect.
56

EXAMPLES

58       Dropping a column:
59       g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
60       v.info -c myroads
61       v.db.dropcolumn myroads column=SHAPE_LEN
62       v.info -c myroads
63
