Laravel - change the default database connection globally

Question

In my database.php, I have TWO databases configured.

\'db1\' => array(
  \'driver\'   => \'pgsql\',
  \'host\'     => \'localhost\',
           


        

Answer 1

Have you tried simply to change the default connection in app/config/database.php?

'default' => 'db2'

If it's not the case then please provide more information on the problem.

Edit: So it seems you have all connections hardcoded in the models. Try updating the models like that:

    protected $connection = 'db2';
