Meaning you want to run the same test suite with a variety of different DB connections? That seems like a reasonable use case.
Personally I find that while I sometimes create subclasses to adjust certain class parameters (thus creating a parameterized test case), more often I also have test support methods that are different between the subclasses, which would be more clumsy to do via non-subclass parameterization.
Also, I do have to admit that for the case of just adjusting class constants, it would probably be a fair bit more readable to use a class parameterization scheme to express the testing variations, if only because it would pull the variations into a single cohesive block of code.
So I guess I'm a +0 on this given a concrete use case.
