So, design question: in the links table, why is l_from a string rather than a cur_id? I'm trying to dig it up, but I can't.
Seems kinda losey -- you can't join cur and links on l_from -- say, to find what articles link to an article with a given ID. You can get all the l_from's from links, of course, but then you have to do a query to cur to get any other information.
