Thanks for telling me that Postgres doesn't support cross-database joins.
I know MS Sql Server does. And one of the companies I worked for used it, to
sometimes have a secure database with sensitive info behind a firewall join
queries with a less secure database.
Is this something worth considering adding as a feature to Postgres?
No. Most people who need this use schemas. Frankly, if you can do
cross-db queries you are kind of losing the security value.
We do have /contrib/dblink that does cross-db queries.
