As of now it's possible to override the database engine either through the configuration file (main.db -> engine or db -> engine attributes) or by setting the working directory (via CLI, configuration file or environment variable).

The latter option however only supports the case for a SQLite database, where the db file will just be stored under a different working directory.

For sake of flexibility (and consistency with other core options), we should also provide a --db-engine CLI option that accepts a SQLAlchemy/JDBC URL string.
