A question for the postgreSQL gurus:

Some RDBMSs, for example Oracle, have a feature named 'Database Link' -
at least in Oracle - It's something like a view, thats lets you access a table, 
that is located within another DB.

AFAIK, postgreSQL doesn't have this feature. Are there any plans to implement
it in the (near) future?

Does postgresql allow connectivity as Oracle does using database links? Which allows someone logged into 1 postgresql database to query a table in another postgresql database? The table in second database would have some sort of alias to allow something like this:


SELECT * FROM REMOTE_TABLE@<CONNECTION mailto:REMOTE_TABLE@ STRING TO 2ND DB/ALIAS>;
