Re: Best practice in postgres

Oracle and PostgreSQL schemas seem to have fairly equivalent functionality
from what I've read, except that PostgreSQL schemas aren't as tied to a
particular user as are Oracle's.

I'm pretty sure you want schema -> schema and not schema -> database,
mainly because the semantics for querying across databases are much more
