vector map. It automatically checks the connection for the specified layer.

NOTES

v.db.addcolumn is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage. The supported types of
columns depend on the database backend. However, all backends should support VARCHAR, INT,
DOUBLE PRECISION and DATE.

The existing database connection(s) can be verified with v.db.connect.

EXAMPLES

Adding a single column:
g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
v.db.addcolumn myroads columns="slope double precision"
v.info -c myroads

Adding two columns:
g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
v.db.addcolumn myroads columns="slope double precision,myname varchar(15)"
v.info -c myroads
