Re: Changing databases / schemas

> · In MySQL for example you can use “use <database>” and then change between databases which you want to access currently.

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 currently available 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:
\?
