I hope you don't misinterpret - that's what the smily was for. Often when i criticize something, you seem to take it personally. Isn't discussion something we should do? And yes, you name it - "unless you have two database files with the same name, with one in the home directory and the other in the db directory". Placing such hacks in the framework is bad. When it comes to real problems, i have to tell you that i can't use dConnectInfo any more, because it doesn't let me specify which connection file i want to use. I know how to work around this, but it is a problem because now dConnectInfo is useless for me. Explicit is better than implicit - you know that! I fear that with every such hack it gets worse.
