Hey Hassan,
Thanks for the pointer, I have been looking at the API and the
establish_connection seems like the way to go.
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => "mysql",
:host => "localhost",
:username => "myuser",
:password => "mypass",
:database => "somedatabase"
)
The databases both exist on the same server but one is mysql and one
is postgresql.
It is not clear to me how to implement this though?
I suppose I could try adding it in the User model as a before_create
method and pass the params to the other database, but I have no idea
what kind of structure that would have.
Any further input would be very much appreciated, but I will keep this
thread updated if I manage to figure it out.
Best,
Dan
