You can have multiple completely different databases managed by their own
processes and with their own tablespaces (collections of disk files and/or
raw partitions) and within each database your schema can then be
partitioned by user, but one users tables may be accessed by another user
if they have the permissions to do so. In fact you can do a select across
databases if you really need or want to.

but if you setenv (or export=) just before you connect it replaces the
'@dbname' part of the connect string.
