Think "schema".  I don't foresee supporting joins across multiple
databases any time soon (unless someone wants to resurrect the old
Mariposa code), but once we have schemas you can put things into
different schemas of one database and get most of the user-level
benefit of multiple databases, while still being able to join to
things that are in other schemas.

I haven't looked hard at what it will take to do schemas, but it's
high on my priority list for 7.2.  Ross Reedstrom has already done
some preliminary work ...
        regards, tom lane
