It would be indeed quite complicate to implement that with the current 
configuration code. Plus it would be even more complicated to *not* 
cause any unwanted side effects for experienced administrators who 
don't expect any other settings of their existing configuration to 
change if they change the database settings.

I went the simpler path and simply added a note in the database section 
that explains this.
