HELP!!!

* Is there a way of creating synonyms of tables within one database in another
database in Postgres similar to the Informix CREATE SYNONYM?
* If not and related to the post on 2000-10-28 by Sivagami, is there a way,
within a select I can make a query from mulitple databases.  ( the usual
DB.Table or DB:table or DB@table dont seem to work)

Thanks

Carl

Nope.

Nope.

It's not really planned either in case you wanted to ask.

don't know how informix works, but why dont you just use a view?

create view synonym as select * from table;
