Yes and no. in the last week a few "proposals" have been posted One about "automatic" database configuration One about setting the configurations in the mmbase.jar I was just thinking if the "automatic" database detection configuration is in the mmbase.jar it get's difficult for people who don't want the source to add an other database or even to know why the database connection doens't work or why the databas is ussing a certain driver. mabey I don't understand it fully :)
