There's a global variable MyDatabaseId for the database the backend is
connected to. It doesn't change after login.

There's no such thing as a "current schema", but I think you'll want to
take a look at src/backend/catalog/namespace.c, which handles the
search_path. There's a variable activeCreationNamespace there; look at
the functions in namespace.c to see how it works.
