This works, though it's ugly.

Smart move. That's what I came up with, too, but it does not
work. I can create and edit a server as you describe above, but
when I try to create a new group (G m) and try to specify `db' as it's
select method, I get an Emacs error "Cannot open loadfile: db". I
tried to specify "db" literally -- including the doublequotes -- but
GNUS won't even let me.

This is with sgnus-0.59 on Emacs 19.30.
