I use Ad-hoc joins to LEFT JOIN data from different databases using
the same default db config and it works well. Just specify table =
'common_db_name.table_name' . You will obviously need to ensure that
the db user specified in your config has at least SELECT privs to both
databases. I usually give Any user on localhost SELECT privs on my
common database, but you could just as easily grant database specific
as well.

Hello,
I'm developing an application which will be used by multiple companies
and I want to use a shared database for common information like users,
companies, permissions etc, but I want to use a separate database for
each company for their own (private) information. The reason to give
every company an own database is for speed, security en taking
advantage of the caching from the database.
I've read the article by Anssi Rajakallio (doze) at the
Bakery:http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/use-multiple-databases-in-one...
And also the comments of the cakephp team, but I still have a few
problems.
I don't want to initialize a connection to 1 company-database (the
solution of Anssi) at the start, but I want to be able to change from
data source while making one request, for instance when I want to
benchmark multiple companies I need to make one request, and multiple
database requests on different databases (depending on the companies I
want to benchmark).
The question is how I can change dynamically the data source of all
the models who don't use the 'shared' data source.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raymond
