Re: data transfer between databases

mulianto and Avraham

Thanks for your suggestions. Dumping data isn't the entire problem -
which is this:

There will be an *ongoing* need to add new data from tables in one
database to the same-named tables in another database on a remote
machine. Two of the tables are in a m2m relationship.

Thanks

Mike
