List available databases. If no server is specified then the current server is used, if no server has been connected to then the default is used.

* `db use [database]`:

Select a database. This command is aliased by the shortcut command `use`.

* `db info [database]`:

Print information about a database. If no database is specified then the current database is used.

* `db add [database]`:

Create a database with the specified database name. If the database is created it is automatically selected with the `use` command.
	
* `db rm [database]`:
