Multiple Databases

Problem

You want to access multiple databases in a single project.

Solution

webpy 0.3 supports multiple databases by removing the database from a part of the "web" module, and making it a more typical object. For example:

import web

db1 = web.database(dbn='mysql', db='dbname1', user='foo')
db2 = web.database(dbn='mysql', db='dbname2', user='foo')

print db1.select('foo', where='id=1')
print db2.select('bar', where='id=5')

insert, update, delete and query methods can also be used in the similar way.

Of course, you can use 'host' and 'port' to specify server address and listen port.
