You probably want to look at the dblink package in contrib/dblink.
Alternatively, you'd have to do it with a daemon application LISTENing for
messages from your trigger.
Alternatively, you could use schemas in 7.3 to make it look like you have two
databases.
Option 1 seems to be what you're after. I think 7.3 dblink has had some
reworking, so if you can upgrade first that might be an idea.
