Handling Multiple Databases in Laravel

Question

I'm working on a fairly large project at the moment and there is data that I'm wanting to be stored in a different database. how would I handle that in laravel?

Answer 1

It's simple, you can do things like:

User::connection('another-connection-name')->where('email', 'john@doe.com')->first();

In Laravel, switching to a different database connection at any time.
