WordPress doesn’t support postgresql, so $wpdb wouldn’t be much help.
This article shows the challenges of supporting it:

Daunting, to say the least.
Is this to use it as the main WordPress database, or do you want to use the external data for a plugin? In the latter case you’d probably be better of putting an API in between and using that.

Thanks for reply,
I wanted to use posgesql for a custom plug-in, but at this point I design the secondary database (with domain data to fatch and display) in the same istance of mysql WordPress.
What do you think about it?

Perfectly reasonable approach. Good luck. 🙂
