Thread: FW: Query

This was sent to webmaster@postgresql.org.  Anyone have an answer
to it?  I'm not familiar with oracle so I don't know what he's
talking about.

    AFAIK  it  means  to  show  up  a virtual relation, that is a
    relation in another database. So  if  you  query  your  local
    relation,  your  backend  connects  to the other database and
    virtually shares this relation.

    No, PostgreSQL does not support this.
