    PL/pgSQL  doesn't support external database connects. PL/TclU
    does.

    But keep in mind that with this kind of setup you don't  have
    two  phase  commits,  and  that  updates  done through such a
    trigger (e.g. cascades)  will  not  rollback  if  your  local
    update does so after it got fired, because you have to commit
    the remote transaction before you know if your local one ever
    will.
