If the tables could be in the same database but in different schemas, you should be able to arrange a view in schema2 (called "table2") with rules that operate on table1 in schema1. See the manual for a discuss of rules and views. If you really want these tables in separate *databases* (same machine or not), then you probably want dblink, a stiff drink, and a long-hard think about the prudence of such a design. -Reece -- Reece Hart, http://harts.net/reece/, GPG:0x25EC91A0
