#' Tests if a GRASS vector is linked to an attribute table

#' @description **GRASS** vectors can be lined to one or more attribute tables, or "databases.". This function tests to see if the vector does indeed have a database. This function is typically used by developers.
#'
#' @param x A `GVector` or the [sources()] name of a vector in **GRASS**.
