In the database administration main datasource list; 

1) Show the description of each database

2) Allow databases to be enabled/disabled.  

3) Allow for an enabled database and  disabled databases to have the same name.  

This will facilitate being able to change an active database where changing the code to point to a different database isn't a straightforward process.  The description display on the main list helps to further identify the database.    This would make it easy to switch from environments such as Dev, QA, and Production.

This would be useful for applications that are not built on frameworks such as FW/1, ColdBox, and others (which provide tooling to configure things like datasource names based on environment).
