Bruce,

Thanks a lot. I will integrate named connections as proposed by the most 
recent version of dblink as soon as possible.
Thanks for doing the configure stuff. What we need is Oracle's OCI 
interface and libsqlora (http://www.poitschke.de/libsqlora8/).

Also; I have done some work on an improved version of jdbclink but it 
does not work yet (supports persistent connections and so forth).

Joe, you have told me some time ago that you are planning some sort of 
connection table which tells dblink to establish some connections 
automatically. Did you work on that?

I hope we can merge it in a useful way.

	Regards,

		Hans
