Is it possible to establish a connection from within a postgres database to
another external database on the network, i.e., not a java or scripting
connection, BUT by some type of table definition within the postgres
database of that external database table source - something similar to a
proxy definition.
Examples of external database could be MSAccess, Oracle, Sybase,
MSQLServer, etc.

The idea behind this would to be able to at least look up data from other
database sources.

At the very most to be able to actually access data in other database table
sources and perform insert, update, delete, transaction on that external
database tables rows and columns.
