There is a module called "dblink" in the contrib area that can do
this.  You obviously don't get to maintain all the "goodies" of
integrity constraints and MVCC 'synchronization' of data.

If you find you have applications where you are accessing multiple
databases like this, you should consider whether or not they could
perhaps be joined into one database by putting the data into several
namespaces or schemas.

That _may_ not be possible, but it's worth investigating, as it is
likely to be _way_ more efficient...

PASCAL  is  not  a  language.  It  was  an  experiment  combining  the
flexibilty of  C with that  of a drug-crazed  penguin. It is  also the
'language' of choice  of many CS professors who  aren't up to handling
REAL programming. Hence, it is not a language.
