title: Why is PostgreSQL not finding my newly created database
body: <p>I'm an absolute noob in PostgreSQL and I am trying to do some things. My current experiment is to do some backups. I run</p>
  
  <pre><code>psql -h /tmp -p 6773 -d postgres
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>here I create a database called backups:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE DATABASE backups;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I quit from this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\q
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and now I run</p>
  
  <pre><code>pgbench -i backups
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however, this gives me an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>connection to database "backups" failed:
  FATAL:  database "backups" does not exist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
