Hi all,

Sven urged me to clear this confusion. By now I learned which version he 
used:
http://fa-technik.adfc.de/code/opengeodb/dump/opengeodb-02611_2007-12-04.sql.gz

This dump was created as a quick shot, after including several thousand 
new places. It is true that this dump contains "bad data" for duplicate 
names. The problem was recognized and fixed soon after. But the licence 
conflict with data derived from OSM prevented to build a new dump.

These datas have been split again by now, since opengeodb is and should 
remain open data, while OSM requires CC by SA.

The online information has been ok since quite a while. By now a new 
dump is available which should provide much better values. I would not 
recommend all of its levels, since there are duplicate structures due to 
the organisation of a community itself - but that's up to Sven what to take.

HTH,
Martin
