  I need a pointer to the appropriate docs that show me how to specify a

  What I want is to CREATE TABLE <tablename> AS TABLE

have missed finding this information.


use Schemas instead of databases if this is what you need. Combined with search_path, this will get you the exact results you're looking for. in fact, the default search_path is $USER,public, so it will look in a schema named after the current user before it looks in the default schema...
