Description

I was about to create a pull request to improve error handling when parsing the configuration when I noticed that the tests are running against all database type: pg, mysql, sqlite3 and mongodb

It's not very trivial for anyone to install and configure all these databases in order to test this library. I would recommend to create a docker-compose file that would take care of pulling the corresponding container and start them all.

I don't really have the time to look into it now, I'll have a look later this week if it's something that you would consider benefic.

Another solution would be to mock all the database drivers

Research direction
Create a docker compose.yml file that sets up PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB containers. Reference the existing test configuration files to ensure proper database connections. Look at the current test runner scripts (e.g., package.json scripts) to integrate Docker based testing. Consider modifying CI configuration to use Docker services instead of installing databases natively.
