We discussed before how to define a default backend, the use of environment etc, and we found that and envvar is not secure enough. The other option was to have a configuaration file for Elektra, which doesn't makes much sense for a system that wants to eliminate configuration files. Anyway, the simplest and most secure way we could think was to create a symlink.
Check the documentation for kdbOpen() and kdbOpenDefault() at http://www.libelektra.org/elektra-api/group__kdb.html
Check also this thread or the ones close to it about envvar or symlink:

Do you have a better idea on how to define a default backend ?
Thank you,
Avi

Hello,
Given that the selection of the default backend through a link is broken
on platforms where a proper namespace is required, I propose dropping
the libelektra-default.so link. There would still be the possibility to use
the KDB_BACKEND environment variable which seems to be more portable to
me.
(and similarly for default_dbackend).
Thoughts?
