I can make my database available to you over the net if you want. I just
need your IP address so I can authorize you in pg_hba. Contact me directly
if you're interested and I'll create an account for you, etc. The actual
tables are a little bigger than the examples I posted. I can also send you
the exact table definitions as I have all the SQL to create them in a file
I use in accordance with a makefile. Let me know if/how you want to
proceed.
I'll grab the latest driver and try that as well.
