public class Base
extends Object

This class provides a number of convenience methods for opening/closing database connections, running various types of queries, and executing SQL statements. This class differs from DB such that in this class you a logical name for a connection is hard-coded to be "default". Use this class when you have only one database.
This class is a convenience wrapper of DB

  - open
```
public static void open()
```
    This method will open a connection defined in the file 'database.properties' located at root of classpath. The connection picked from the file is defined by ACTIVE_ENV environment variable. If this variable is not defined, it defaults to 'development' environment. If there is JUnit on classpath, this method assumes it is running under test, and defaults to 'test'.
