Hi Joe, Thank you for pointing out about Multiple Servers. One of my primary cases in Sequel was also this too. *Multiple databases*. But, not just different ones, but connecting to Arbitrary servers: arbitrary_servers.rb (jeremyevans.net) <https://sequel.jeremyevans.net/rdoc-plugins/files/lib/sequel/extensions/arbitrary_servers_rb.html>
Sequel does an awesome work here for us. Thanks, Gencer.
