Maybe there's some previous discussion that you could point me to. It
looks like someone thought about this a lot at some point.

But is there, for instance, any database provider for which the database
name should not be specified in order to create a new database.? If it's
always needed then it should be a regular parameter. If something is
needed 90% of the time then it should be a regular parameter that can be
null. Let's try to keep the common cases easy while allowing the
uncommon cases.
