如何从 Postgresql 中的特定数据库模式中删除表？

Question

I am new to Postgresql and so far I have not found a way to drop a table from specific database. To give some context:

We are doing a synchronization from Oracle to PostgreSQL of 5 tables. In postgres I have a database SoloCopy and the schema is the default public . In the Postgresql instance we have also 2 more databases SoloSynch and postgres (the default one).

What I want to do is to select SoloCopy database and:

DROP TABLE public.table1;

When I do the above DROP statement table1 is deleted only from the database that was selected when opening SQL Query. But I want to specify the database before that and to be irrelevant from where the SQL Query was open. How can I do that?

I found an answer on my own. Setup can be found here: Psql in Task Scheduler does not run a file script

Basically I needed to use PSQL and with the connection string there I connect to a specific DB, which I can drop the tables from. The details for PGPASSWORD and the .bat file I ended up creating are in the link above. Had to start everything from CMD and switch to psql from there.
