Jon,

What should ns_export and ns_import do? I am very interested in looking into some general facility like this. I have a new data format that offers all the advantages of XML for data representation, but can parsed very fast, faster than a CSV format.

Also, has anyone discovered a format for representing an SQL data model, besides SQL, that can then be translated into multiple SQL dialects? It would probably need to cover sequences, views, etc. I don't have much hope there is such a thing, but just thought I'd ask.
