I am using this code in CodeIgniter to add a database:
$active_group = 'default';
$query_builder = TRUE;
$db['default'] = array(
'dsn' => '',
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '12345',
'database' => 'saas',
'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => FALSE,
'db_debug' => TRUE,
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'compress' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array(),
'save_queries' => TRUE
);
How can I add a second database? And How can i use them simultaneously? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
From The Documentation:
$db['test'] = array(
'dsn' => '',
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'database' => 'database_name',
'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => TRUE,
'db_debug' => TRUE,
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'compress' => FALSE,
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array()
);
In your model you can write:
function method()
{
$test = $this->load->database('test', TRUE); // the TRUE paramater tells CI that you'd like to return the database object.
$query = $test->select('first_name, last_name')->get('person');
var_dump($query);
}
