The reason why the BrMainDb creates the BrRunsDb object is referncial-security!!! BrMainDb looks up the appropiate hostname and db filename, so that you are sure to get the right thing and not have multiple connections, etc.. In general, no object of any class deriving from BrDb should be created by the user, BrMainDb should take care of that. The only exception is BrMainDb, ofcourse, which however is a singleton. The reason why I react so strongly, is because you might encourage others to do the same, with potential disasterours results. So I wish you could keep your dirty tricks to yourself (I do!).
