The biggest problem I have is that I don't like systems that rely on manual
copying. It is too error-prone. Perhaps we could define a database selector
property to be entered on the command line that would result in the
selection of an appropriately named properties file. If you agree with this
suggestion I will update the stuff you sent to do this
