I agree that :memory: is a bad default, but I wonder if we should (not silently of course) default to the db / alias given by the get_default_database_alias hook?

The problem is btw located in src:database.cc line 4932 - the code issues a log message and returns without setting a path just like it would do for the :memory: option. Either we E() there or we try to (verbosily) default to an existing default database.
