No. It only works with a local database. That means that you still need to get syncing between a second, temporary local database with the merged data and the HTC calendar on the Funambol server working. > > There is a feature request pending about transparently merging multiple > > databases, but no-one has ever worked on that. > Sounds good, but I think that there are two less developers for > implementation?

It seems like the more capable solution (multiple databases possible, full iCalendar 2.0 support).
