When I ran into this a little while ago, what surprised me about this, wasn't so much that the join didn't understand column types when joining a CSV, but that it didn't recognise column types when joining a dbf.
That surprised me - or maybe I hallucinated. Has anyone else noticed the same problem with joining a dbf to a spatial file? -ramon.
