Did you find a way to do this ?

@ipolevoy I managed to use reflection to make it work and loaded it all into memory once (using reflection to change the @ Table annotation for load_prefix) and then changed the model's DB to the save DB also using reflection to change the @ Table (save_prefix) Annotation. Pretty much

• Change into load prefix
• Load into Memory
• Close ActiveJDBC (actively close all connections)
• Change DBName and Table prefix for save
• Reinit ActiveJDBC
  It's a very hacky way around it, I realized (the reason why I close this) is that models are only linked to 1 DB and this feature would therefore be kinda useless for my case. If models could be linked to multiple DBs (I haven't researched ACtiveJDBC enough to know) then it could become a very useful feature.

@Articdive would something like this work for you: https://javalite.io/database_connection_management#multiple-database-example ?

@ipolevoy unfortuantely that wouldn't work, I really need 1 Model (not 2 different ones) to be saved/loaded in 2 different DBs, I realized however that this does kind off defeat the purpose of ActiveJDBC.

@Articdive actually, you can do this like this:

public class Person extends Model{}

Base.open(driver, url1, user1, password1);
List<Person> people = Person..where(...);
Base.close(); 

Base.open(driver, url2, user2, password2);
for(Person p: people){
   p.set("first_name", "John").saveIt();
}
Base.close(); 

so, what happens here, you read data from one database then modify it and write to another. The model only cares that there is an available default connection.

Will this help?

This is pretty much what I do, this simplifies the process I use by using the Base db (instead of reinit and stuffs) and stuff so that already helps a ton. Now it would be amazing if we could have a setTablePrefix("") or something so that we can set the table prefix, at the moment I use reflection to change the @ Table annotation and change the referenced table. So this ticket could be reopened for this exact case (a table prefix for a db)!

@Articdive there is a way to fake it by using a sharding method, please see https://javalite.io/sharding.
I think between the example above and sharding, you can do what you need without any additional changes or reflection

okay this seems to have worked thank you @ipolevoy!

Awesome!
