Combing attribute table with polygon??

Zia, something like this might work as long as MUKEY has no NA values:

poly.data = merge(poly.data, data.table, by="MUKEY" ,all.x = TRUE)

Robert
I have created one data table and one polygon in R. Both have a similar type
of column. ?I want to combine or join them with this column or field
("MUKEY"). ?Then ?I will convert this polygon ?as ?a ESRI ?shape file.
But ?when ?I ?used ?spCbind, ? I got error. I think i miss something here.
Is there any way join attribute table with polygon? Thanks
Zia

poly.data1 <- spCbind(poly.data, data.table)
Error in spCbind(poly.data, data.table) : different numbers of rows

names(poly.data) # polygoan
[1] "AREASYMBOL" "SPATIALVER" "MUSYM" ? ? ?"MUKEY" ? ?> names(data.table) #
data

poly.data1 <- spCbind(poly.data, data.table)

combinedShp1 <- "D:/test/combined1.shp" writeOGR(poly.data1,
dsn=combinedShp1, layer="combined1", driver="ESRI Shapefile")
