Is there any reason not to bring records (of whatever type)directly into the postgres instance through psql, assuming the expected data structures matched? Why would you want to link two aolservers to distinct data sources? Do you need to capture something into the record only the UI generates?

well, that's exactly what we want to do (populate our dotLRN database with the data of our SQLServer), but the database description of dorLRN is completely overwhelming for me. Just wondering if there are some standard scripts to do that :)
