Use, Set Catalog and JDBC questions

[Frank Cavaliero <fcavalie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have an application that requires
to connect to each database available in PostgreSQL.  I have the following
questions:


1.  Is there a USE DATABASE command
or something of the sort (similar to MySQL) that allows you to quickly
connect to a database without having to reconnect using the username,password
and database again ?   In Java, we are using set catalog to do this
in MySQL.

2.  Based on #1 above, would the
latest JDBC driver support the ability to create this type of connection?


Thanks,
Frank
