non-refdb DB error messages

Just one more itty-bitty suggestion for improvement.

If I run a command and specify the wrong refdb database so that it is a
database that does not exist, I get a sensible error message...

........................

acws-0175% refdbc -d thisiswrong -C getnote :NID:\>0
FATAL:  database "thisiswrong" does not exist
could not open reference database

........................

...but if I get a database that exists but is not a refdb database (in
this case the default database for this user), the error messages to
come back are table-not-found messages from the sql server...

........................

acws-0175% refdbc -C getnote :NID:\>0
ERROR:  relation "t_note" does not exist
select failed
acws-0175%

........................

...I think it would be nicer in this case to produce information like in
the first case so that I can figure out the source of the error and
don't start think about sending silly messages to the refdb-users group...

...feel free to disagree with me completely!

Peace
Damien
