PostgreSQL: Create schema in specific database

Question

I need to write an sql script that creates both a new database AND a new schema in the database I just created.

How can I do it? Can I somehow change the current database to the new one? Or can I somehow specify the database for CREATE SCHEMA?

I'm using PostgreSQL 9.0

Login to New-Database with new user:

postgres=> \connect newdb user1
...
You are now connected to database "newdb" as user "user1".
newdb=>

To create schema with new user "user1" in newdb:

newdb=> CREATE SCHEMA s1;

To list the schema :

SELECT * from information_schema.schemata;

Create database using --CREATE DATABASE test;

Enter to the test database using --psql -d test;

Create your schema in test database using --create schema if not exists test_schema;
