The HTTP interface for databases provides operations to create and drop
individual databases. These are mapped to the standard HTTP methods `POST`
and `DELETE`. There is also the `GET` method to retrieve a list of existing
databases.

Please note that all database management operations can only be accessed via
the default database (`_system`) and none of the other databases.
