Hi all, Congrats on your upcoming beta release! I'm wondering: Is it possible in GT2 at present to do relational "joins" between different datasources? For example, I'm working with a bottow trawl survey database (well, a collection of related dBase tables). There's a shapefile with station locations (point features) and station ids as fields. I also have a dBase table that has station id field (a foreign key to the shapefile), a species field, and a catch-by-species field. First, can GT2 handle non-spatial data (e.g., a dBase table) from the DataSource (or any other) perspective? Second, is it possible to create a feature collection by "joining" the shapefile and dBase table (as DataSources or FeatureCollections) based on their mutual station id codes using the GT2 API? Thanks! Buck Stockhausen -- ************************************************************************ *William T.
