[Gdal-dev] joining DBFs

[Neil Best]

Can someone point me to a straightforward way to join attributes from an 
   additional dbf table using either OGR or GRASS, or even Perl?  It's 
so easy in Arc that I would think this has been solved in our world 
also.  So far my impression is that I would have to script a row-by-row 
UPDATE since the SQL drivers don't support any type of JOIN afaik.  It 
seems like I have seen an example somewhere using a Perl DBF module but 
I can't put my finger on it.  I'll keep digging and hopefully this wheel 
has been invented.
