[Qgis-user] Table Join in QGIS Master

[Filipe Dias]

Hi Marco
Yes I think it is better that way. And how about adding a small suffix (eg.
"_a" or "_j") instead of the name of the table? If the field's names are
small enough it would still be possible to distinguish between "original"
and "joined" fields.

Tks
Regards
