The functionality works fine if I set a default profile but it will connect only to that default and I am not prompted to choose among the several profiles that I have included in my vimrc. Was this resolved?

Hi David,

I have been traveling and apologize for my slow response.

It took me a while to realize that the version on vim.org (v.25) is ahead of the version (v.23) on GitHub. Anyway, got that figured out and updated to version 25. Same behavior. However, I wonder if I have simply been misinterpreting the functionality. One helpful site that led me to this plugin in the first place left me with the impression that the user is prompted for the desired DB connection from the list of connections detailed in the vimrc when you first call dbext in a new buffer. That does not happen. If I run a query, table select, or whatever from dbext, it automatically runs that command using the default DB connection. I can, however, use any DB connection listed in the vimrc if I run \sbp. Upon further reflection, this is probably the way it is intended to work, and I very much apologize for having troubled you if this was simply operator error.
