mmm... so you trade clean code for compatible code here?

your choice, but I see we need new Creator for Server DB
so why can't we have more appropriate Create and Open ServerDB methods?

we certainly are lazy, but not to the point we can't change a couple 
lines of code more i think, if that's for clarity's sake 8-)

I don't get it here, if we don't have register in Local
what API we must be consistent with?

then again, what's the use of path parameter?
It would have sense only if you allow register databases that live not 
in the default Databases folder

DB returns error 1011

and console logs it as:
  12:44:39.998067 (25201152): (13) ERROR #1011: Object already exists

BTW there's a list of vserver error codes somewhere?

Vale Studio crashes on connection attempt...
it crashes also if I remove a registered database from the Databases 
folder

BTW why "localhost" string doesn't work in V4RB client and I must pass 
"" to connect?


one last question,
what's the correct privileges settings for MasterDB and other DBs in 
Databases folder?
Installer sets it as owned by System and read only for everybody else
and I see this settings also when I create a new DB in example
(which BTW I can't make to properly work since I can't see any of the 
DB contents, it crashes the server with Bus error on DB.RecordCount 
call)
