SET CATALOG <expr>

SET CATALOG changes the currently selected catalog.

The default catalog depends on the first database file opened and does not change if other databases are attached.

The name of a catalog is based on the file path using the paths base name up to the first .. So, if the complete file path is /tmp/mydb.cool.vsql the CURRENT_CATALOG would be mydb.

CURRENT_CATALOG can be used in expressions to get the currently selected schema.

The catalog must exists for SET CATALOG to succeed.

Examples

VALUES CURRENT_CATALOG;
SET CATALOG 'foo';
VALUES CURRENT_CATALOG;
-- COL1: mydb
-- msg: SET CATALOG 1
-- COL1: foo
