I sometimes find myself, in code, wanting to create a database, or more specifically test if a database exists and create it if does not. The database module appears not have functions to create (or delete databases). Is this a deliberate design decision?<br>
<br>I can do this via the command interface, although test and create is a bit messy; I can do it via the REST  interface, and I think via the WebDAV interface, but not,  it seems, via XQuery directly. Adding additional functions to the database module would be a solution, or maybe a util:command()  that would execute any BaseX command?<br>
