If you can move away from individual databases to multiple schemas in
one database, then your problem would be solved. Schema support was
initially added in 7.3, but the tools needed for examining schemas and
such were not quite done all the way back then. Upgrading to 7.4 at
least makes dealing with schemas a little easier, and if you're
upgrading to 7.4, might as well go all the way and get 8.1.4. 7.3 is on
the very tail end of what's considered "supported".
