Depends on your meaning of database. If you're talking relational data
lingo the answer is no. Each database is a separate entry in WRKRDBDIRE.
If you're talking about libraries on the same system the answer is sure.

So, you cannot do a join with a file on your system with a file on another
system. You cannot even do a
INSERT INTO LocalFile (
select * from RemoveFile)
or some such thing.

The work around is
CONNECT to remotesys
declare and open a cursor on the remote system
for every row retrieved from the remote system use RLA on the local system
to post it locally.

Not sure if the optional part of the OS "DB2 Multisystem" (or some such
thing) will allow you do to that. It does give you partitioned tables.
Which, you can think of as multimember files, with benefits. RTM as an
alternative to the manual for that, I'm not.
