I've heard of at least two people who seem to be using dblink fairly
heavily without problems. One recently reported something like 500
million records transferred without error. I use it myself, but not in
what I'd call heavy use.

If you are aware of any specific problems, please point me to them, and
I'll fix them before the next release.

Thanks,
