Design suggestion of multiple databases vs multiple schemas within the database
I am building a web app with Postgres, that also uses Drupal with Postgres.
I am new to all these frameworks.
There is some data that I'll need to cross-reference between the two
databases.
Can I do a cross-schema/catalog join? Or is a cross-database join better?
Are there any gotchas for the cross-schema/cross-database joins that I need
to be aware of? Such as when using Shared hosting?
Any suggestions/comments appreciated.
Thanks

pgsql doesn't really support cross db queries, so you should use
multiple schemas
