Guidance

• Database create, describe, and drop operations are only available on Dedicated clusters. database list works on all cluster types.
• Every cluster has a "default" database.
• Before dropping a database, confirm with the user -- all collections in it will be deleted.
• After creating a database, suggest switching context: zilliz context set --database <db-name>.
• To work with collections in a non-default database, use --database flag on collection commands or switch context.
