Just to repeat what Aage said, No.

You can however span the same transaction over multiple databases, so
your client program could request the data from both databases and
internally do the join.

It would not be particularily efficient if the tables were large. If
you are trying to do some sort of replication, then there are other
ways of achieving this.
