Michael, Gleb,
thanks a lot for your hints!
Now I know that "default database" means "current database".
And I did not find Section 13.3.2 in the fine manual because I searched for "default database" and we find the string "default (current) database" there :-( .
Regards,
Frank.

Hello.
I searched a while but could not find an explanation. So the question remains: what is the "default database"?
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql_select_db.html
While it does explain default database, that page documents a function in the Mysql C API. That seems a strange place to send someone asking about character sets and ALTER TABLE, not C programming. Surely we can find better references. For example:
Set the default: USE dbname <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/USE.html>.
What is the default: SELECT DATABASE() <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Information_functions.html>
