Hi list,
 
I wrote a database creation script that begins with commands to drop the existing database (if it exists) and create it from scratch. These commands execute fine, the problem is that all subsequent commands are executed on the default database 'postgres'. What command can I use to set the default database to my newly created database (for the duration of the script)? SQL Server has a 'USE [dbname]' command, is there an equivalent command in PostgreSQL?
 
Thanks in advance,
