exactly. mysql does not have schemas, and imho schemas > mysql
databases. Some servers (ms sql server) allow you to do 4 part
qualification, but the architecture is different over there and not
necessarily bettter (IMO). The postgresql database is neatly
associated with a connection which I think is rather elegant...in my
opinion it would be better to allow schemas to nest than to allow
cross database querying.
