Most MySQL users misunderstand "databases" in postgresql. The closest
equivalent in PostgreSQL to a MySQL "database" is a PostgreSQL "schema".
If you expect to be able to run queries that use data from multiple
"databases" you really want to use schema.

See the help for the "psql" command for basic scripting, including the
"\c" command to connect to another DB. For help on an SQL command, run
"\h COMMANDNAME" in psql, or read the manual for that command.
