We haven't completely implemented that yet.  A partial nested-database
can be found in QMTest's CVS tree, in tests/QMTest/selfdb.py.  It is
incomplete on two counts: first, it's read-only, even if the
sub-databases aren't; second, the list of sub-databases is wired into
the source code.  And there might be other problems.  But give it a
whirl and let us know what you think.
