Hey guys, i have two flat-files that i am working on. One file has a primary key identifier and some attributes.
id#, Name, Address, Phone.
1212, Bob, 113 Main St, 555-1212,
1231, Aron, 114 Main St, 555-1221,

File #2 uses this ID (as foregin key) to associate some relevant info to the id.
id#, class-grade, instructor, blah..blah...
1212, B, Dr. Gillo, ...
1231, A, Dr. Ross, ...

example:

ID | NAME | ADDRESS | PHONE | CLASS-GRADE | INSTRUCTOR | etc.
1212, Bob, 113 Main St, 555-1212, B, Dr. Gillo, ...
1231, Aron, 114 Main St, 555-1221, A, Dr. Ross, ...
etc.

Now how can i JOIN these to files together on the id.
