A few days ago I have posted a pre-beta version of dblink_ora which is 
supposed to solve some problems we had here at Cybertec (getting data 
from an Oracle DB and merge it with PostgreSQL). I have implemented a 
simple piece of code (more proof of concept than production).

Since I have not got too much response (just one posting off list) I 
expect that there are not too many people who are in need of this 
feature. Am I right or is there somebody out there who wants to see it 
in contrib? If there is serious interest in this feature we'd make it 
work with PostgreSQL's build system and we'd add some documentation as 
well as some more code.
If not we will keep using it for internal purposes.

	Regards,

		Hans

I suggest you make the code available from a web site and let 
techdocs.postgresql.org point to it. That way it will be availble for most of 
the people even if it does not make into contrib immediately.

I'm interested.  Am I the guy from off list though?  :-)

Whether it's in /contrib or on gborg is no biggie for me though.

If I'm not mistaken, the request was that you and Joe would merge the
code with standard dblink and integrate both into the backend for 7.5.
