See man join. With join, you must use flat files, as it seeks in anticipation of Cartesian products. Files need to be header free, delimited and sorted. If this is a many to one or one to one deal (a simple merge), you could use my m1join.c tool and all piped data for the sort and header removal:

Another alternative is the JDBC and unixODBC drivers that treat flat text or CSV files as database tables, so you can express your desire in SQL to jisql or isql (unixODBC).

NAME
odbcinst - An unixODBC tool for manipulating configuration files
SYNOPSIS
odbcinst ACTION OBJECT OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
odbcinst is a command line tool which has been created for allowing people who are developing the install scripts/RPMs for Drivers to be
able to easily create/remove entries in odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. This command line tool is a complement to the shared library of the same
name (libodbcinst.so). This tool is a part of the odbcinst component of unixODBC.
OPTIONS
ACTIONS
-i Install (add section to config file) new OBJECT.
-u Uninstall (remove section from config file) existing OBJECT.
-q Query the config files and print the options for specified OBJECT.
-j Prints current configuration of unixODBC, listing (among others) the paths to the configuration files.
-c Calls SQLCreateDataSource
-m Calls SQLManageDataSources
--version
Prints program version and exits.
OBJECTS
-d The ACTION affect drivers (and thus the odbcinst.ini configuration file).
-s The ACTION affect data sources (and thus the user or system odbc.ini configuration file).
OPTIONS
-f FILE
The FILE is template file, describing the configuration of installed OBJECT (only valid for the -i ACTION).
-r Same as the -f OPTION, only take the standard input as the template file.
-n NAME
Specifies the NAME of the OBJECT.
-v Turn off verbose mode. This turns off all information, warning and error messages.
-l The specified data source is system-wide. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.
-h The specified data source is user-specific. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.
RETURN VALUES
This command returns zero on success and non-zero value on failure.
FILES
/etc/odbinst.ini
Configuration file containing all the database drivers specifications. See odbcinst.ini(5) for more details.
/etc/odbc.ini
System-wide data sources specifications. See odbc.ini(5) for more details.
$HOME/.odbc.ini
User-specific data sources specifications. See odbc.ini(5) for more details.
