Hi All

Is it possible to fetch data from another database than the current?
E.g. like in Oracle I can select data from 2 different DB's like this:

select * from db1.table1 as tbl1, db2.table2 as tbl2 where tbl1.id1 =
tbl2.id2;

This has already been discussed. Postgres doesn't have this ability.

Emulating Oracle's concept of schemas is on the list hoever,
which *will* allow multiple-DB interactions. You'll just have to
wait for that one. ^_^
