[Qgis-user] names for tables without spatial data

[Ramon Andinach]

Hi,

Could I ask for a bit of a straw pole.

In recent times I've seen nonspatial, aspatial, geometryless, and standalone tables used to describe the tables that we want to use in QGIS that have no spatial data (ie, data but no points, no polygons, no lines).

I'd like to know if are more names for this "data type" out there?
I'd also like to know if there is one that most QGIS users prefer?

thanks,
-ramon.
