<p>Still switching of the database is possible in PostgreSQL, but you cannot use two databases in a single code block/sql function.</p>
<p>Here, the switching of the database means to switch the complete connection from existing database to some other database.<br />
Please don&#8217;t try this switching option using PgAdmin Tool. You can do this using PSQL.</p>
<p><strong>Use below command for switching database/connection in PSQL:</strong></p><pre class="crayon-plain-tag">\c database_name</pre><p>
<strong>Check my test result in below screenshot:</strong></p>
