I sometimes think it'd be nice if Pg offered the ability to translate schema

it'd do nothing for people who want to do inter-machine or inter-instance
queries.
That's an interesting idea. Since I am building this app from scratch
I suppose I could create different schemas for different applications
instead of using different databases. I wonder how rails and active
record can deal with that. I'll take a look and see.
I am presuming of course that one can query across schemas.
most certainly. just prefix any objects or fields with
schemaname.objectname. if you don't specify the schemaname it looks in
the SEARCH_PATH, which defaults to "$user",public
