Overriding the $sql_details in order to connect to a different database.

clazette

We have a scenario whereby certain DataTables/Editor instances need to connect to a different database. Is there a way to deal with this? I need to override the default $sql_details settings in config.php.

There are a few options:

1. If you defined $sql_details before you include the Bootstrap.php file it will use your $sql_details rather than the one from config.php.
2. Create a new Database instance new Database( $connection_details ) with the array of options you need.

Thank you, Allan. That was the approach I was taking. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
