Is there no way to simply change a database attribute without figuring out first what its path is?

ALTER DATABASE "foo"
ATTRIBUTES 'bar'

causes ElevateDB Error #700 An error was found in the statement at line 7 and column 22 (Expected IN but instead found ATTRIBUTES)

Jeff,

The manual says:

<<All clauses after the PATH clause are optional. If they are not
specified, then they will not be altered and will stay the same as
before the ALTER DATABASE statement was executed.>>

Accordingly the PATH clause should *not* be optional.

Not currently.  Per my post to Roy in the suggestions forum/newsgroup, I've
got some of the clauses converted to optional, but not all of them.  I'll be
working through more of them in a later release.
