Server::getDatabase()

[sminnee]

Sometimes once you have create a server you also want to connect to the database powering it.

Ideally, there would be an method on Server that would provide details of how to access the database powering the site.

The specific use-case I have in mind is when an integration test has started a test server, and wants access to the database in order to manipulate the database content of fixtures.

Perhaps this can return a SilverStripe Database object, rather than inventing a new scheme for this.

In the case of companion project such as https://github.com/sminnee/docker-serve/, this getDatabase() method could be overridden to provide details of how to access the container's database.
