Codeigniter - Using Multiple Databases

Question

database.php:

$db[\'default\'][\'hostname\'] = \"192.168.2.104\";
$db[\'default\'][\'username\'] = \"webuser\";
$db[\'default\'][\'password\         


        

Answer 1

You don’t need to create separate database configurations if you only need to use a different database on the same connection. You can switch to a different database when you need to, like this:

$this->db->db_select($database2_name);
