How do I explicidly create a cross-database reference?

Mind you these databases are on the same server.

In MSSQL you could do that through enterprise manager.

Any help would be appreciated.

You cannot do cross database references per se, but you can use schemas,
which roughly behave like individual databases do in MSSQL. See:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/ddl-schemas.html

If you really need cross-database queries, see contrib/dblink (which
would also work across servers), but it isn't as flexible as using schemas.

HTH,
