--#############################################################################
-- This SQL script generates the grass map tables to store time stamps, revision
-- and spatial extent for SQL queries and temporal GIS support.
-- Additionally several triggers are created for convenient functions
-- The grass map metadata is map specific (raster, raster3d and vector maps are 
-- supported)
--
-- The placeholder GRASS_MAP will be replaced by raster, raster3d and vector
