Hi, Jan

Yes, I am using the database name in the front of the URL. But in that
case, the 'current_database' route is not relevant at all.
So, my question was more to understand why that route exists if there isn't
a (easy) way to change the current database. =)

Also, thanks for pointing out that is would use the system database if none
is supplied. I was wondering if the '_api/collection' would show all the
available collections in the system.

Slowly, but things are going well :)
Cheers
Alberto

available collections in the system or just
