Hi Frank,
The "USE xxx;' is a non-standard MySQL extension to the SQL language. This
functionality is not available at the SQL layer and must be supported by
the connection application itself, I think. For example, you can use
"\c xxx" in psql to perform that function. If JDBC does not support it
natively, you would need to open a new connection to the new database.
Regards,
Ken
