v.db.dropcolumn - Drops a column from the attribute table connected to a given vector map.

       Markus Neteler

v.db.dropcolumn drops a column from the attribute table connected to a given vector map. It automatically
       checks  the connection for the specified layer. v.db.dropcolumn omits to delete the ’cat’ column which is
       relevant to keep the connection between vector map and table.

       Dropping a column:
       g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
       v.info -c myroads
       v.db.dropcolumn myroads column=SHAPE_LEN
       v.info -c myroads

v.db.dropcolumn  - Drops a column from the attribute table connected to a given vector map.

v.db.dropcolumn is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage.

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

           use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
