The SQL Databases module makes it possible to bind database URLs to symbolic names. These names can later be used instead of the full URLs when referring to the databases, resulting in shorter and less cluttered RXML code.

This gives an extra layer of security, since it makes it possible for example to write RXML pages with SQL tags without knowing the password for the database. It also eliminates the potential security risk associated with storing of names and passwords on RXML pages that is mentioned in the SQL tags section.

Another advantage is that it becomes very easy to change to another database.
