laravel BelongsTo relationship with different databases not working

Question

I\'ve seen in several places to \"stay away\" from this, but alas - this is how my DB is built:

class Album extends Eloquent {

   // default connection

            


        

Answer 1

Solution for laravel v5.7 and above

class Album extends Eloquent {

   // default connection

   public function genre() {
       return $this->setConnection('Resources')->belongsTo('genre');
   }
...
}
