Technically it would be two connections, but transactions
could span connections. At the moment, our DSQL has no way
to indicate the source of a table. That's a language issue.
We could support a main query against one database and
subqueries against another reasonably easily. Joins would
be more of a problem, and cross database procedures, triggers,
constraints, etc. even more. Not impossible, not without
value, just hard.

Best,

Yes, this has been discussed, on this list, I think.
