database location as variable

is there a way to specify the database location for Plex? if not can I ask for a feature request?

currently my Plex is on linux and the OS is running on SSD however my /var/lib/plexmediaserver is mounted from normal drives and I am getting a few slow query in the logs

(yes my database is optimized and not corrupt - already performed it earlier today)

if its possible to specify the database location i would much prefer to put the database on the ssd drive instead of having it on the data drive.

I know that we can nest mount the database directory or create symlinks but i think having the database location as variable that we can adjust would be much cleaner.
