I've encountered the same problems as yours. The actual implementation is neither using the singleton nor the factory pattern (well, to be honest, i have a factory utils class which is not published and not required, but which i use in my project). Instead, i use instance array variables to configure the db objects. The advantage is that each instance could overwrite its own configuration.
