I have a very similar set of uses to Nick's. Our model classes at work can connect to SQLite, MSSQL (ODBC) or MSSQL (ADO). We store config data as something like: db_driver: ODBC db_user: kibo db_pass: grep db_name: users It DTRT with regard to building a DSN string that contains "databasename=users" or "Initial Catalog=users" or "dbname=users.db" and so on. It's not the hardest problem in the world, but it's more lines to maintain. -- rjbs
