Gotta say, not generally a fan of SQL Server, but this is very nice. If I’m dealing with a database with 50 small databases on it, it’s an utter pain to have to set up fdw connections between every set of databases I want to use together.

Any chance of getting this in Postgres? Seems like since the databases are in the same program, this ought to be simpler.
