GNATS generally requires that you have a database named 'default'.
This is because the gnats server automatically connects to the
'default' database when it receives a client connection.

You can circumvent this by setting the GNATSDB environment
variable to one of the databases you've defined above
(FAR, Development, QualitySystem or Production) in the
environment under which gnatsd is run.

Good luck.
