That's interesting, because I always thought that bucardo would need to be
set up in the source DB prior dumping the DB from the source and importing
it to the target... otherwise how does Bucardo know what it needs to copy?

I think it must compare all the rows between source and target DB
initially, copy what's missing in the target, and then after that it
"listens" for changes using its triggers.

Would love it if someone could confirm that.
