As shown at http://www.tracemodeler.com/articles/a_quick_introduction_to_uml_sequence_diagrams/ I would like to use  "database" in a sequence diagram, besides "actor", "boundary", "control", and "entity"

Thanks for your suggestion, this is a good idea, and quite easy to do.
This will be done in next release.

Hello,

Thanks for the report : this has been implemented in version 7969:

@startuml
actor Foo1
boundary Foo2
control Foo3
entity Foo4
database Foo5
Foo1 -> Foo2 : To boundary
Foo1 -> Foo3 : To control
Foo1 -> Foo4 : To entity
Foo1 -> Foo5 : To database
@enduml

See http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/sequence.html#Declaring_participant

Regards,

Oh, that was why I could not use it on my diagram; got added this month.

Got new version and it refers pretty.

Thanks!
