Re: [mv] How does minivend know which table to use

MV does not distinguish between database and table. i.e. MV calls tables
and databases both databases.
The database (as per SQL) is defined in the DSN directive or as a
shortcut in the Database directive.  All other "database" defines are
really the equivalent of SQL tables.
