You can't right now. But I agree that this is something I would like to
have too (mostly for testing purpose). And it feels more pratical this way.
If the username is specific to the database, then it doesn't make sense to ask for it when connecting to the server. What is required (I think) is the ability to specify a role for each database. It would be stored as a per-user setting alongside the schema restriction.
