Datasource vs Database
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I would like our documentation of refer only to Datasources and entities
and remove references to Databases and Tables.
The only exception would be when we are talking about a Datasource that
is a Database the files that relate directly to a Database like the
fieldtype
My reason is that people like me, that come from a database centric
background, have a tendency to relate to references to databases that
takes them down the wrong path.
We need to make a strong statement that the Database is simply a
type datasource for Storing Data, nothing else.

Yes, I guess a wiki page is easier if we need to share
