What would be the best strategy to create a database from user
standpoint of view? If we have an API to create a database on a server.
The user doesn't know about database(s) yet. The possible option would
be: to check the result status and if is not COMMAND_OK, probably
connection should be dropped and established again.
May be not so elegant but at least safe and stable.
