[Qgis-user] Intended work-flow for joining table to layer?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

It would be really nice if SpatiaLite could be the default format in
Processing.

But I remember that Victor once said that ESRI Shape is the only vector
format that properly works with SAGA GIS. Not sure if this is still the
case or not.
