Impossible.

Solutions:

- use dblink from contrib
  http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/contrib/dblink/
  http://pgfoundry.org/projects/dblink-tds/

- save the result in a table, create a dump from this table with
  pg_dump, open the other database, restore the dump.
  You can do this steps in a shell-script.
