At some level we need to be able to specify what kind of database is
sitting behind there. At SOME point we need to know how to specify
a filename for SQLite vs. a host/port/user/password for PG. So clearly
there's some differentiation there.
But this is irrelevant to what I meant. What the user types into the
File->Open dialog does not need to be the string that gets passed the GDA.
I'm just pointing out that we need to intercept that input and handle
it appropriately, which may mean adjusting the actual string and perhaps
calling the XML or GDA-with-SQLite backends.
