RE: Failing to connect

Thanks - I solved it by creating the default as suggested,
but now I understand _what_ is happening. This should
definitely be mentioned in the UPGRADING document.

I'll use the GNATSDB environment variable to get rid of
the unneeded default database (It confuses my users :-) )
