Unfortunately, this is not very convenient. The access to the 2nd database
is a small addition to a large existing system that uses the 1st database. I
don't really want to go through all the php code and change everything.
Therefore, I really need a solution based on a default database that I can
control. Why doesn't mysql_select_db() do this correctly?.
