Though sometimes it is nice to separate things out. Back in the java jdbc days, I'd always have to look up the exact url format for database connections because oracle's url connection string would be completely different from mysql, and still different from postgres.

Because the way you use to locate a resource may vary wildly between databases. And mind you we are only talking about relational ones (the kind JDBC cares about).
