Making catalog current means switching between DBs.
Remember initially I connected to (finance) DB, which made the (finance) catalog
current.
Then I "opened a second connection" to (finance_2021), which made
that current catalog and so that select would give me all tables from
(finance_2021).

I hope now its clearer.

Thank you.
