Just because they are related, doesn't mean that it's always wise to
lump it all in the same database.  Mainly for scalability and
performance reasons.

I would tend to agree, there are numerous times being able to do a cross database query without the hassle of DBlink would be extremely handy. I could also see it being valuable in a data warehouse type situation.

I know it can be done in M$ SQL server using .. notation and I bet you can do it in DB2 and Oracle. you can even do it in MySQL, in MySQL it's their way of implementing schemas.

Considering all these other DBs can do it, doesn't it make sense to at least put it on the radar for Postgresql?

Just my 2 cents....
