Yes , i was considering that the only alternative , with a few variations on
the catch-up of the events (SP or client app)
and marshaling them to the client app after lookup in the link-tables
records. Not a very happy design , but...

I was wondering about the use of external files as a link between databases,
but discarded the idea. Now , i would like to add in the FB2 wish-list that
: Capability to access tables in another databases in the same or not the
same server (Something like select name from host.database.table where ....)

I think it could be tricksome to mark some tables as to be replicated during
some time , some of them only in one direction , some in both , but , hey ,
i had no used replication at all. Is IBReplicator being ported - mirrored to
the FB Open Source domain? It should be big news for me. Or simply , a linux
version would be nice enought.
