Of course there are uses for cross database operations. Particularily
to balance out loads etc, allowing you to sweep on section of database
the without impacting the performance of another section. Or
controlling access to different pieces of information between
organisations when no common authority is entrusted to manage it.

The question was simple enough. Can you do this in Firebird right now?
No. Is there other ways of achieving it? possibly but we dont have
much information in why they want the cross db query in this case.
