Switch between multiple database in PDO

Question

I\'m new to PDO. I would like to know if there is anything similar to mysql_select_db in PDO, so that i can switch between different databases during runtime without the nee

Answer 1

It looks like PDO does not have database switching because not every database engine supports it.

AFAIK PostgreSQL does not have database switching, but offer schemas and u can switch between those.

However if you're using mysql check if this works for you:

$pdo = new PDO('mysql:dbname=db1;host=127.0.0.1','user','pass');

$sql = 'select count(*) from table_name';

$res = $pdo->query($sql);
print_r($res->fetchAll());

$pdo->exec('USE db2');

$res = $pdo->query($sql);
print_r($res->fetchAll());
