This is usually left up to the front-end.  Usually for me, perl DBI.  This way, I
can connect to multiple databases, possibly all of different types (PgSQL, Oracle,
Informix, ...).

I'm sure the SQL gurus can corret me, but I was under the impression that 
cross-database references in the backend would be capital-D Difficult to 
implement with transaction support.   Then there's the further tearing asunder
of the ANSI SQL standard...
