register_db_backend(db_handle)
register_sqlite_backend(sqlite_file, ...)
register_mysql_backend(db_name, host, user, password, ...)

`db_handle`	A DBI connection
`sqlite_file`	File path for a SQLite file
`db_name`	Name of the database to connect to
`host`	Hostname the database is on
`user`	username to connect to the database with
`password`	password to connect to the database with
`...`	extra arguments to pass to `dbConnect`

Currently only RSQLite and RMySQL are supported. To use either of these DBI implementations the appropriate packages will need to be installed.

The register_sqlite_backend and register_mysql_backend are convenience wrappers to both create the DBI connection and call register_db_backend for you.
