SET DEFAULT
Syntax
SET DEFAULT [DATABASE | ORGANIZATION | ROLE | SCHEMA | STORE] object_name;Description
This sets the database, organization, role, schema, or store as the user’s default. Changing defaults does not affect the current session’s context, and you can use USE to change the current context.
Entering a new user session has the same affect as changing it with USE.
Any object used to set as default must already exist and be accessible by the user.
Arguments
object_name
Name of the entity to set as a default. If the name is case sensitive you must wrap it in double quotes; otherwise, the system uses the lowercase name.
