[GENERAL] access public relation from a private database

2008-09-29 Thread Joey K. 
Hello,

I've created a table in public schema,
CREATE TABLE public.foo (fooid SERIAL);


When I try to create a table in database nowhere that references public.foo
table,

CREATE DATABASE nowhere;
\c nowhere;
CREATE TABLE bar (bar integer REFERENCES public.foo(fooid));

I get, ERROR:  relation public.foo does not exist.

Can I reference public relations from private database?

Thanks,
Steve

You cannot. But you can create a private schema along
the public one above in the same database.

You can't access across databases.
