Talk about a confidence booster :)

Thanks for input. It looks like you have really covered a lot of ground
on this topic. ALE talk ??  

>From rom the stuff you outlined, it doesn't look like a "generic" syncing

tool is really feasable. It would really need to be tailored for the
dbms in use. (oh well. so much for the automatic convert-ms-sql-to-
postgresql-on-the-sly project...).

I've just started tinkering with dblink. cool. way cool. triggers to
call dblink with WAL over VPN.

Hmm. So the entire sync-up process would also need to be a transaction
with checkpoints with a loging of errors for further processing.

This is bordering on totally sick and twisted. I need a few more db
machines for tinkering with...
