The SQL command "USE database" should work.

Hm. What is the exact message? Do you use BDB tables? If yes, maybe an
explicit COMMIT helps? (did not use BDB tables myself, yet).

I nothing else help, you can always work-around the problem by
explicitly stating the database name in your queries (which is not
pretty, but works), like

SELECT * FROM mydatabase.thetable WHERE <some condition>

Bye,
