I see.

With DBAL you can assign each table to a different DB if you really 
like. THe most likely setup is one main DB for most of the tables, and 
one or two extra DBs for special needs (eg fe_users, tt_address or some 
other extension specific tables).

Perhaps with DBAL the first configured DB can be shown at login.
