Chapter 4. databases.conf
The file databases.conf defines aliases for databases, and — optionally — database specific configuration.
It can be used both server-side, and client-side.
You can define multiple aliases for a single database, but only one of those aliases can be a scoped value (that is, have configuration between braces).
4.1. Server-side usage
When used server-side, the file defines aliases that the server redirects to a specific database file, and — if specified — database-specific configuration used by the server for the database file.
The configuration specified in the scoped value applies for all connections to that database, not just connections using that specific alias.
Only per-database configuration items are supported, other configurations items are ignored.
