Details:

Currently, the way that Gnuastro's Query program accesses databases is
hard-coded inside of it's source. So to add new data bases or change
something, you will need to recompile it. 

However, at least for databases that follow well known standards, it should be
possible to have a simple configuration file for each database with its
configurable features (like URL and etc) there. In this way, adding new
databases will be very easy and users can even define their own databases.
