DatabaseName
@GE{Database Name}: ArangoDB can handle multiple databases in parallel
in the same server instance. When multiple databases are used, each
database must be given a unique name. This name is used to uniquely
identify a database. The default database in ArangoDB is named _system.
The _system database will always be there, and cannot be dropped.
When ArangoDB is accessed and no database name is explicitly specified,
ArangoDB will automatically assume the default database _system is
accessed. This is done for downwards-compatibility reasons.
The database name is a string consisting of only lower-case letters, digits
and the _ (underscore) and - (dash) characters. User-defined database
names must always start with a letter.
Please refer to @ref NamingConventions for more information on valid
database names.
