Is it possible to create a view using tables from two different postgresql
servers?

Thanks

It isn't possible with plain old SQL, but it is possible (albeit ugly) using 
contrib/dblink in PostgreSQL 7.2.x. See README.dblink for documentation and 
examples.

In PostgreSQL 7.3 (in beta testing now) the syntax and usability of 
contrib/dblink is greatly improved.
