Gerard,
I just got bumped with a tremendously large bundle of urgent and important
tasks. Hence the prolonged silence.
Just as we discussed about the Calenders and transportation data, we could
use some efficient methods on this database too. Unfortunately, it will
take some time for me to join this fantastic, simple but highly efficient,
effort. In the meanwhile, you may share the essaince of what we discussed
together, with our fellow-contributors here like Manoj Khurana etc.
Regards,
Viswaprabha
