Where is $db_server defined?

[Ap.Muthu]

Line 11 in include/reportlib.php:

$db_server=substr($config->database->adapter, 4);

but is not used for normal urls in SI.

Where is $db_server defined and why is it all over the place being declared
as a global variable.
If it has "mysql" as it's value, then what happens to the normal PDO-MySQL
connection?

i had assumed it was defined in the include/init.php file - rather than the reportlib

- feel free to move or fix this up

is just used when the sql is going to write alternate sql for the various dbs

- a time ago there were SI uses very interested in postgre

In it's current form with exclusive use of pdo_mysql statements, pgsql and sqlite may not work at all.

Can the pgsql and sqlite code be removed along with the #db_server variable?
