How would I get the connection url (jdbc:postgresql://HOSTNAME:5432/DATABASE) of a database connection via script?

This isn't included within the `system.db.getConnectionInfo` return ☹

It'd be nice if there was a `getConnectionConfig` that brought back all of the config for a connection

Something something wait for 8.3?

It's probably possible through some amount of scripting, but eh.
