Changing the civicrm database dynamically
March 09, 2011, 10:19:41 pm
I'm trying to syncronize certain contacts between different databases.
Is it possible to change the active database? It should look something like this:
Code: [Select]
civicrm_contact_get($params)
change the database
civicrm_contact_get($params)
the two queries get the contacts from different databases.

I found a way but I'm not sure its the best one.
First of all I know that hacking core files is not good but I didnt see anohter way to do this.
I hacked the core/dao.php and db/dataobject.php files. I added some extra parameters to different functions and changed the _connect() function in the dataobject a bit so that i can choose which database to connect to.

So now CRM_Core_DAO::executeQuery() function accepts a database name as the last parameter. After that query api functions use the new database too.
