Completely agreed.
The default library file can be overrided but this is all but self
explaining (and barely documented AFAIK):
- firebird: uses ibase60dyn; ... InitialiseIBase60('libraryname');
- postgres: uses postgres3dyn; ... InitialisePostgres3('libraryname');
- mysql5.1: uses mysql51dyn; ... InitialiseMysql('libraryname');
It can only be done at run-time, so no way to activate any connections in
the OI.
A libraryfilename property for the different sqldb components would be nice.
