cross-database referential integrity?

Is cross-database referential integrity possible? Doesn't seem to be with a
standard foreign key constraint but are there "alternative" methods of
maintaining referential integrity across databases? Thanks.
LCUse Triggers instead.

I'm no fan of triggers (Although IN the db that is your only option)
You could "consider" doing this in an DB_Accessor layer. (Enforce via Code)
