52 <li>Learned about sqlplus and how to speak to Oracle databases from Victor</li>
54 <li>Re-wrote the section about getting NIS data and managed to get gpdb_add_project to talk to Nice properly</li>
56 <li>Checked in working version of gpdb_add_project and the Rexec.pm module</li>
58 <li>Discovered that gpdb_add_project stumbles over some no longer existing machines in some DesignSync registries. Need to change this to send email</li>
60 <li>Updated my rc scripts to include support for Oracle</li>
62 <li>Working with Bill and Mike we determined that there is a test database for gpdb</li>
64 <li>Determined how gpdb.pm opens the database in an effort to teach it how to connect to a test database. It's currently an all or nothing thing. This needs to change.</li>
