i tend to agree with you and in your case, i would be wondering why each has its 
own database server or why they even need one if it is as useless as you say... 
why can't they query to see if there is a database server already installed and 
simply create their tables as needed in the existing database??

kinda makes total sense to me but it must be too logical otherwise it would 
already have been being done...
