[OSGeo Africa] Table joins

[Balazs Szabó]

Hello!

You should use sql (postgis or spatiallite) to join table to geometry (much
easier and clear).
In shapefile you cannot bypass 10 (sometimes 6) charachter limit of field
name and I think strongly recommended to use ascii charachter encoding.

Best regards,
Balázs
