Doh, right, the number returned doesn't distinguish between databases...

Now with the new monitoring features (MON$ATTACHMENTS) it should be
possible to get the "number of connections to current database" as well.

Yes, it is easy to understand form the implementation point of view.
But as a user, this is completely useless feature. As a user one
expects to get the "number of users connecte to that server installation".
