# Method Sql.pgsql()->select_db()

Method select_db

  ``final` `void` select_db(`string` `dbname`)`

Description

  Due to restrictions of the Postgres frontend-backend protocol, you always already have to be connected to a database. To connect to a different database you have to select the right database while connecting instead. This function is a no-op when specifying the same database, and throws an error otherwise.
