Great.

If you are using last release you might want to upgrade to CVS. We now
have a master / detail WIZARD. So you can run this then look at
internals.
Basically if I have datasource1 called dtsPerson and datasource2 called
dtsPhone. In person there is field phone_id and in phone there is field
id.
In the data source dtsPhone put the following....
detaillink="id"
masterlink="phone_id"
master="dtsPerson"

Arturas is working on this and recently submitted some patches for this.

Yes, but if you find a smaller database like Gadfly or ZODB or Other (even
txt files) you can easily writ a driver for it.

You can check out irc at irc.openprojects.net #gnuenterprise if you ever
want real timme help.
