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 keep 
your project independent of others. Where more robust engines use schema and 
tablespace concepts to achieve this for you.

So, I would not implement a re-connect theory, I would suggest researching the 
database(s) you plan on supporting and seeing if there is a better way to 
leverage that engine for your needs. Which means, you need to know your needs - 
do you need data separation? Or, are you just used to sending the "use 
database" command?
