The DB doesn't exist (yet), and I want them to connect to a different DB for the time being.  Is there a way to define an alias for the existing DB that = the db name that doesn't exist?    Or is there a way to have PG fail over to a default DB should a DB connect fail?  I can implement the fail over outside PG, but those users who make a direct connect to the DB don't use that code.

This has been requested previously.  Probably the only reason it hasn't
gotten done yet is that nobody has cooked up a patch.  Searching the
archives for "database synonyms" might be fruitful.
