Name of attribute column on which to calculate statistics (must be numeric)
database=name
Name of database
driver=name
Name of database driver
Options: dbf, odbc, ogr, sqlite, pg
where=sql_query
WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword

Percentile to calculate (requires extended statistics flag)
Options: 0-100
Default: 90
DESCRIPTION
db.univar calculates basic univariate statistics for numeric attributes in a data table. It will calculate minimum, maximum, range, mean, standard deviation, variance, coefficient of variation, quartiles, median, and 90th percentile. It uses db.select to create list values for statistical calculations. NOTES If the database and driver are not specified, the default values set in db.connect will be used.
EXAMPLE
In this example, random points are sampled from the elevation map (North Carolina sample dataset) and univariate statistics performed:
g.region raster=elevation -p
v.random output=samples n=100
v.db.addtable samples column="heights double precision"
v.what.rast samples raster=elevation column=heights
v.db.select samples
db.univar samples column=heights
