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.

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