Perhaps I'm in the clueless n00b category, here, but how does:

"dblink [] a module which supports connections to other PostgreSQL databases 
from within a database session."

Even approach solving the problem of Database Replication for Data Warehousing 
aka Reports DB?

dblink looks more like SSH or Telnet for DB access than a db replication 
solution to me. 

Please explain.

Thanks.

have a day.yad
