Ok, good news about db:create. My use case is in the context a web app . I have been using the following, somewhat lazy, approach to installation: If the database does not exist then use the client module,connecting to itself, to create it and load it from a folder containing "starter" content.
CREATE DATABASE coll /path/to/input This abuse of the client module seems to be blocked now :-), However the db:create(), as was, in 7.4 seemed only to be able to create an empty db.
