Re: Happiness is a cross database link...

Looks like a great idea, but alas I cannot actualy find any files..
CVS is empy, FTP is unaccesible, home page goes nowhere, no messages
in forums.. Some more clues to the enigmatic whereabouts of this
project would be appreciated if you have them. Google even suggests I
try dblink postgresql instead...

Thanks,
