As Andreas Kretschmer mentioned, you might be able to use dblink. Why do you want to share a sequence across databases? Could you use separate schemas in one database instead of separate databases? Unfortunately, the app that I'm using doesn't yet support schemas - otherwise I'd be doing that. I have 3 instances of the application (each for a different business unit) and I don't want them generating the same numbers for different things.

Thanks, Possibly via contrib/dblink, also on ealier versions.
