You cannot select the current database.  A database connection remains
connected to the same database for the entire time of the connection.
You'll have to do what psql does: connect to the second database, and
if that succeeds, disconnect from the first one.

Where do I look for that code?

Thank you.


Yours,
Laurenz Albe
