> · In MySQL for example you can use “use <database>” and then change between databases which you want to
accesscurrently.
> o Is there something similar in Postgres or do you need to disconnect and reconnect to the next database everytime
youwant to change the current working DB?
To connect to a database from psql:
\c <database>
> · Once connected to a database , how can I see a list of schemas and in turn a list of tables that are
currentlyavailable and also how do I see the table info (i.e describe in other dbms systems)
For a list of schemas (schemata?):
\dn
For a list of tables:
\dt <schema>.*
For a description of the table:
\d <schema>.<tablename>
For a full list of commands use:
\?
