Hi all. I have a few questions, but I'll start a thread per question. My first is a design issue that's fairly specific to my application, but I thought someone might be willing to give out some insights.

My application has multiple databases, one per client, and I hijack the database connection at the beginning of a request and connect it to the appropriate database. So, I have to pass the database to any workers so that they know which database to operate on. I have two choices here:

1) Have a single worker, pass in the database to all worker methods, and have the method connect to the correct database before beginning the real processing

2) Create multiple workers, one per database, and have them connect to the appropriate database when initialized via the 'create' method. Rails can then call methods on the appropriate database specific worker. without having to pass the database in to each method, although it will have to use the database as a worker key when getting the correct worker.

I like the organization of the second method, but the simplicity of the first. I'm thinking I'll go with the first. Any thoughts?
