That would not be the optimal use in this case, programmatically (speed-wise is another story). However, you can nest that in a larger query:
SELECT sum(cid) FROM (SELECT COUNT(id) as cid FROM main.table UNION SELECT COUNT(id) as cid FROM db2.table) Which would yield one result only. My basic rule is if I need to put the two in relation together (join, union, etc), I attach them. If not, I make more connections.
