Make sure you're not mixing up the terms "db" and "table", which is
a common mistake.  Do you really need to point to another DB, or are
you just pointing to a row in another table?  The former is not very
common (but is supported by MySQL as others have said).  The latter
is very, very common, and is called a "join".

If you have more questions, it'd be great if you could send us a more
concrete example of what you want.
