[wp-hackers] List of constants

[Sharon Chambers]

Man, where were you guys two weeks ago? :)

I should've known...ever since I started working with Wordpress almost 3 years ago, I continue to be impressed how well written and easy to work with it is...You guys keep up the good work!  I'll keep hacking at it until I realize that wheel's already been invented...

for a good few months now and no issues at all have come up. Works
just like $wpdb.

Instead of creating a new wpdb instance, I directly modified the post/postmeta tables to propagate this data from one installation to the other.  (Even though I was mildly aware that this wasn't good form, I opted for quick and dirty--never a good idea.)
