Connecting to two databases Mongoid

Question

I have two databases that I have to use in my application. I have the following in my mongoid.yml:

development:
  # Configure available data         


        

Answer 1

In order to access a database temporarily (e.g. in a script) you can use the MongoDB Ruby drivers: Tutorials - Documentation - Low Level Documentation

For a quick overview:

Connect to the database:

client = Mongo::Client.new([ '127.0.0.1:27017' ], :database => 'my_db')

db = client.database

Query for entries via mongoDB query syntax:

db['collection_name'].find('field_name' => 'field_value')
