 ## Database ##

+# its data.

+# 'name' gives the database engine to use: either 'sqlite3' (for SQLite) or
+# 'psycopg2' (for PostgreSQL).
+#
+# 'args' gives options which are passed through to the database engine,
+# except for options starting 'cp_', which are used to configure the Twisted
+# connection pool. For a reference to valid arguments, see:
+#   * for sqlite: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.connect
