Description

A little unsure how to describe this and I'm not even sure what is correct in this case, but either way...

When connecting to our database server (RDS) and selecting a specific "Database Name", I'd expect that that was the only database I saw in the list (just comparing to how LinqPad works with the same connection string)

Instead I can see all available databases on the server and my selection is not opened by default either.

Thanks for a awesome experience finally available in VS Code 🙌

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported connection to the RDS server with a specific Database Name and compare the database list and initially opened database. Done means the selected database is opened by default and the list shows only that database, or the issue is clarified if PostgreSQL or the extension cannot support that behavior.
