And to elaborate a little more, the true need for "use database" for MySQL is not truly needed in most other RDBMS
solutions.In MySQL this allows you to use different database engines for different databases. It also allowed you to
keepyour project independent of others. Where more robust engines use schema and tablespace concepts to achieve this
foryou.
So, I would not implement a re-connect theory, I would suggest researching the database(s) you plan on supporting and
seeingif there is a better way to leverage that engine for your needs. Which means, you need to know your needs - do
youneed data separation? Or, are you just used to sending the "use database" command?
