Where do we store the databse locations: - on a file in each place => makes it difficult to reallocate the database - in the descriptor file for the network ? (there we can create it) - when placing data in a specific zone must we know where that zone stores its data. This means that each zone has database associations with it in the central database.
Since a script normally involves more than 1 database we must be able to specify in each sql file which database we are refering to.
