In SQL you join tables.  If it's indexed it's fast.
Can you do this using text files from the prompt?

Example:
I'd like to investigate the most popular RSS readers Debian offers.

$apt-cache search rss | cut -d' ' -f1 > rss.txt
$wget http://popcon.debian.org/main/by_vote.gz

I'd like to "filter" by_vote.gz to just the package names
in "rss.txt".  In SQL this would be a join.  I'd like it
to be "fast".  Do I have to do this in SQL?
