config.example.php list db but libraries/database/driver/mysql.php needs options[database] to work about joomla-platform HOT 3 CLOSED

I agree, but if you look at the JFactory::getDbo() method here https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/blob/12.1/libraries/joomla/factory.php#L589 you'll see that this is accounted for in the creation of the database object. While it would be convenient, it may break existing tutorials that instruct users how to implement the database classes in their application. So, I think we should leave it as is, but potentially add something to the docs to make it clear.

Hello,
I can't find /database/ folder in my platform root!
any help?

I would download the package for your Joomla version, extract folders, and copy the database folder to your existing Joomla. I suggest you back up your existing copy before doing this. It is strange you cannot find it. I wonder how is your existing Joomla installation even working
