How can I open a standalone .dbf file in QGIS?


Unlike the apparently similar question already asked where the .dbf is associated with the .shp, my problem is simply opening a .dbf in order to join it with a disconnected shapefile by table join.


My question is quite simple: how can I open a .dbf file in QGIS?


I can't find the right instruction to do it.



Answer



You should just be able to use the "Add vector layer..." menu item to open the DBF file. It will show up as a table layer in the layers panel, and you can refer to it in the table join settings of another layer.
