I'd like to be able to do this too, but when I asked the question it was
suggested that if you want to do this then you should use different
schema's within the same database, instead of different databases. Maybe
it's in the FAQ too?

Given that your trigger is written in C, couldn't you use libpq to
connect to and update the other database?
