Yes, dblink lets you do this, albeit with a rather different syntax than
how most databases do it.

In postgresql this WILL work if you create seperate schemas and treat them
like seperate databases. I.e. you partition you data across multiple
schemas in a single database. If you actually have to HAVE a seperate
database, then this won't work.

No, but apparently, there are some folks looking at tinkering with just
that. Search the archives over the last 6 months or so for dblink and you
should find it.
