Not entirely. We need many things that LSST doesn't need, such as 
different WCS tables and PSF model tables.

Our plan is to make our database as similar to the schema as seems 
practical. This will certainly involve some renaming (e.g. 
detection->source, cluster->object). We may create a separate Source 
table (rather than keeping sources and objects in the same table), but 
the details of that depend on whether the merged schema has a place for 
missing sources and objects from a reference catalog.

As an aside, we just added an MJD field to our Image table. This is the 
MJD date of the start of the night and provides an obvious unique 
identifier for data from a particular night's observing.
