As far as I know this is only possible with dblink which is a contrib
module.

I don't see any reason not to store the data in one database with tables
with 2000+ rows.
But it of course depends on the data. If you have a dataware house it
could make
sense to distribute the data on different maschines and connect them
with dblink to
distribute the load. For general databases its normally more important
to set
the postgresql.conf parameter right, use a adequate sized maschine and
storage (e.g. RAID 10 instead of RAID 5) and create indexes where it make
sense.
