Would love to have this in the core, but doesn't look like it's included
yet, neither in 4.6.1 nor in the latest snapshot. Any idea yet if and
when it'll be merged?

When I originally coded the multiple database support I noted the caveat
that only one database type was useable at a time due to the conflicting
function names, so including both database.pgsql.inc and
database.mysql.inc would cause a crash.


This was also brought up again when someone reopened the multi-db
functionality issue, and I am attaching the patch here.


I would love for this patch to get into 4.6 if possible. I don't
believe it's very invasive, and it fixes a long standing bug in the db
api. I have been using some form of this patch on Bryght for the last
3-4 months, and have not found any ill effects related to it.


I also clarified the db_set_active() comments a bit after I saw this
issue (http://drupal.org/node/13115).
