Well, with SQLite it is straightforward (nothing to learn, just use it instead of DBF). > The solution for this needs to be simple and should > not involve too much data conversion or the use of > external tools and drivers that may not be present > in the GRASS/QGIS download bundle ... The simple steps are - install SQLite (it does not need setup but works out of the box) - set the DBMI settings with db.connect (see manual page for copy-paste example) - use v.db.join - use g.copy or db.copy to easily transform from DBF (or whatever to SQLite). These two modules do all the work. Markus _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
