I did not remember your query, but I found it in back email, with just one
response.
I think that a database section is a good idea, with specific databases
appearing below it. I have a tool that I call 'mysqlgrep' that will "grep" a
database for a particular pattern, but I think that it's generic enough to
apply to any DBI-able database. It's important to try to make the scripts
generic enough to work on any database, if this is possible, recognizing that
it is not always possible.
So I'd vote +1 on this category.
Anyways, the next step is for the category to get created. I am not sure what
the procedure is there. I'm pretty sure Kurt has to do that himself.
