In theory joining cross databases is not supported in the SQL standard. Therefore not every dbms will implement it, or they will require you to use clumsy workarounds. I find it hard to see the advantages when you can also use namespaces (schema's) for logical separation and tablespaces for physical separation (other diskdrive). Unless your database is *really* big, but then replication/clustering might be a better solution.
