I'm not a DBA but the DBA I closely worked with at my last job had me do
maintenance on a VPN that went to another company -- basically we had
synonyms on both ends that let our databases be interconnected. They paid
to have access to our data via this VPN and the synonyms. I'm pretty sure
I remember things changing a few times and if the synonyms weren't
matching on both ends stuff would break. So yeah, I'm 99% this is possible
in Oracle and I don't know how anyone would replicate that type of an
environment in Postgres.
