[Qgis-developer] Saving to a DBF

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi, csv huge drawback is that it can't deal with fields with carriage return
inside..  I agree, dbf is the only, but very old, database typed file
format, with indexes support. sqlite is a great alternative, but it is not a
import - export format known in spreadsheet or other desktop tool dealing
with datas. 

but, great drawback, it requires very short field names (10 chars) and 9
char on file name (for the most restrictive tools.. like the old xbase in
Office 2010 tools..
