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?
