Laravel: Run migrations on another database

Question

In my app every user has its own database that created when user registered. Connection and database data (database name, username, password) are saved in a table in default

Answer 1

I have the same problem, my solution is to change the database using Config::set first then run Artisan::call("migrate"). so based on your code:

DB::statement(DB::raw('CREATE DATABASE ' . $database_name));
Config::set('database.connections.mysql.database', $database_name);
Artisan::call("migrate --database=mysql");

the config only changed on your session then reset later as your current setting.
