Im used to Sql Server 2005 where i can use the keyword "Use" to set the default database. Is there an equivalent command within Oracle 10g PL/SQL which allows me to define the default database, user/schema for all subsequent sql statements?

As soon as you connect to the Oracle database (providing required credentials: username, its password and database alias you are connecting to), all SQL statements you issue will run on that database, in that schema.

Although you can use the 'ALTER SESSION SET current_schema' command to make the queries you execute and the code you run all behave as though they were run from another schema.
