I've been searching for a while for a solution here but no luck. I have a model named Currency which extends eloquent.
class Currency extends Eloquent {
protected $connection = 'currency';
protected $table = 'dbo.sfCXDetail';
public $timestamps = false;
public function monthlyTransactions(){
return Currency::select(array(DB::raw('COUNT(trx_number) AS Transactions'), DB::raw('MONTH(update_stamp) as TransactionsMonth')))
->whereBetween(DB::raw('DATEPART(YYYY, update_stamp)'), array(2012,2012))
->groupBy(DB::raw('YEAR(update_stamp)'))
->groupBy(DB::raw('MONTH(update_stamp)'))
->orderBy(DB::raw('YEAR(update_stamp)'))
->orderBy(DB::raw('MONTH(update_stamp)'))
->get();
}
}
The problem is, DB::raw uses the default database inside the database config file, so when I try using:
Currency::raw()
I get an error
strtolower() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given
The database I'm using can't be used as the default database. How do I use the DB::raw method with the current database in use inside the model?
This query works without error when I set the default database to 'currency', but not if I set it to use my local default mysql database.
This is in my DB config file:
'currency' => array(
'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
'host' => 'xx',
'database' => 'xx',
'username' => 'xx',
'password' => 'xx',
'prefix' => '',
),
You can try something like this:
DB::connection('specialConnection')->raw(...);
Also, you have to add another config settings for that connection like:
'currency' => array(
'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
'host' => 'xx',
'database' => 'xx',
'username' => 'xx',
'password' => 'xx',
'prefix' => '',
),
'specialConnection' => array(
'driver' => 'mySql',
'host' => 'xxx',
'database' => 'xxx',
'username' => 'xxx',
'password' => 'xxx',
'prefix' => '',
)
I could be wrong but I believe that setting the connection property as a protected property of Currency would not also set connection for the DB class.
would something like this work (I am at work at not able to test, sorry):
$db = new DB;
$db->connection = 'currency'
$db->table = 'dbo.sfCXDetail';
...
return Currency::select(array($db->raw('COUNT(trx_number) ...
...
I think it's a scope thing

I want to combine multiple databases in my system. Most of the time the database is MySQL; but it may differ in future i.e. Admin can generate such a reports which is use source of heterogeneous database system.
So my question is does Laravel provide any Facade to deal with such situations? Or any other framework have more suitable capabilities for problem is?

Schema / Migration
Run the connection() method to specify which connection to use.
Schema::connection('pgsql')->create('some_table', function($table)
{
$table->increments('id'):
});
Or, at the top, define a connection.
protected $connection = 'pgsql';
Query Builder
$users = DB::connection('pgsql')->select(...);
Model (In Laravel >= 5.0 (or higher))
Set the $connection variable in your model
class ModelName extends Model { // extend changed
protected $connection = 'pgsql';
}
Eloquent (In Laravel <= 4.0 (or lower))
Set the $connection variable in your model
class SomeModel extends Eloquent {
protected $connection = 'pgsql';
}
Transaction Mode
DB::transaction(function () {
DB::connection('mysql')->table('users')->update(['name' => 'John']);
DB::connection('pgsql')->table('orders')->update(['status' => 'shipped']);
});
or
DB::connection('mysql')->beginTransaction();
try {
DB::connection('mysql')->table('users')->update(['name' => 'John']);
DB::connection('pgsql')->beginTransaction();
DB::connection('pgsql')->table('orders')->update(['status' => 'shipped']);
DB::connection('pgsql')->commit();
DB::connection('mysql')->commit();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
DB::connection('mysql')->rollBack();
DB::connection('pgsql')->rollBack();
throw $e;
}
You can also define the connection at runtime via the setConnection method or the on static method:
class SomeController extends BaseController {
public function someMethod()
{
$someModel = new SomeModel;
$someModel->setConnection('pgsql'); // non-static method
$something = $someModel->find(1);
$something = SomeModel::on('pgsql')->find(1); // static method
return $something;
}
}
Note: Be careful about building relationships with tables across databases! It is possible to do, but it can come with caveats depending on your database and settings.
From Laravel Docs
Using Multiple Database Connections
You may access each connection via the connection method on the DB facade when using multiple connections. The name passed to the connection method should correspond to one of the connections listed in your config/database.php configuration file:
$users = DB::connection('foo')->select(...);
You may also access the raw, underlying PDO instance using the getPdo method on a connection instance:
$pdo = DB::connection()->getPdo();
Useful Links
Laravel 5 multiple database connections FROM laracasts.com
Connect multiple databases in Laravel FROM tutsnare.com
Multiple DB Connections in Laravel FROM fideloper.com
In Laravel 5.1, you specify the connection:
$users = DB::connection('foo')->select(...);
Default, Laravel uses the default connection. It is simple, isn't it?
Read more here: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/database#accessing-connections
Actually, DB::connection('name')->select(..) doesnt work for me, because 'name' has to be in double quotes: "name"
Still, the select query is executed on my default connection. Still trying to figure out, how to convince Laravel to work the way it is intended: change the connection.
Edit: I figured it out. After debugging Laravels DatabaseManager it turned out my database.php (config file) (inside $this->app) was wrong. In the section "connections" I had stuff like "database" with values of the one i copied it from. In clear terms, instead of
env('DB_DATABASE', 'name')
I needed to place something like
'myNewName'
since all connections were listed with the same values for the database, username, password, etc. which of course makes little sense if I want to access at least another database name
Therefore, every time I wanted to select something from another database I always ended up in my default database
Laravel has inbuilt support for multiple database systems, you need to provide connection details in config/database.php file
return [
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),
'connections' => [
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
'engine' => null,
],
'mysqlOne' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST_ONE', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),

'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
'engine' => null,
],
];
Once you have this you can create two base model class for each connection and define the connection name in those models
//BaseModel.php
protected $connection = 'mysql';
//BaseModelOne.php
protected $connection = 'mysqlOne';
You can extend these models to create more models for tables in each DB.
Also you can use postgres fdw system
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/postgres-fdw.html
You will be able to connect different db in postgres. After that, in one query, you can access tables that are in different databases.
This worked for me

I changed some code from this answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/64744187/4514022) and it worked for me.
Not a good solution if you want to clone the existing system and to run the existing code on a new database for a new customer.
We would have to edit hundreds of eloquent calls to insert the DB::connection('foo')
I'm using phinx to manage my databases and I need to gather data from a database and insert it into another one.
I have defined the two environments in a config file like so:
'environments' => [
'default_database' => 'current',
'current' => [
'adapter' => 'mysql',
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'name' => 'old',
'user' => 'root',
'pass' => '*****',
'port' => '3306',
'charset' => 'utf8',
],
'new' => [
'adapter' => 'mysql',
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'name' => 'new',
'user' => 'root',
'pass' => '*****',
'port' => '3306',
'charset' => 'utf8',
]
],
What I'm trying to achieve is something like this:
public function up () {
// The environment is 'current' by default
$data = $this->fetchAll("SELECT * FROM old_table WHERE x");
// Change environment somehow
$this->environment('new')
$this->table('new_table')->insert($data);
}
Is this possible ? I can't find anything on the official documentation.
Looking in phinx code they do this when they execute a migration
public function executeMigration(MigrationInterface $migration, $direction = MigrationInterface::UP, $fake = false)
{
$direction = ($direction === MigrationInterface::UP) ? MigrationInterface::UP : MigrationInterface::DOWN;
$migration->setMigratingUp($direction === MigrationInterface::UP);
$startTime = time();
$migration->setAdapter($this->getAdapter());
you have setAdaptor available in a migration, so you might be able to use that. Would have prefered to write this in a comment as it's not really an answer but I didn't have enough charactors

I'm digging into ZF2, and I've run into some confusion on how to use Zend\Config with Zend\Db to manually set up a connection.
In different places in the manual, there are db configs in different formats.
This one shows a flat array as the config format:
https://packages.zendframework.com/docs/latest/manual/en/modules/zend.db.adapter.html
$adapter = new Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter(array(
'driver' => 'Mysqli',
'database' => 'zend_db_example',
'username' => 'developer',
'password' => 'developer-password'
));
While this one shows a nested format:
https://packages.zendframework.com/docs/latest/manual/en/modules/zend.config.introduction.html
$configArray = array(
'database' => array(
'adapter' => 'pdo_mysql',
'params' => array(
'host' => 'db.example.com',
'username' => 'dbuser',
'password' => 'secret',
'dbname' => 'mydatabase'
)
)
);
What I expect to happen is that I can call for a new db adapter like so, but this throws exceptions:
$config = new Zend\Config\Config(
array(
'db' => array(
'adapter' => 'Mysqli',
'params' => array(
'host' => 'db.example.com',
'username' => 'dbuser',
'password' => 'secret',
'dbname' => 'mydatabase'
)
)
)
);
$adapter = new Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter($config->db);
What I end up having to do is:
$config = new Zend\Config\Config(
array(
'db' => array(
'driver' => 'Mysqli',
'host' => 'db.example.com',
'username' => 'dbuser',
'password' => 'secret',
'database' => 'mydatabase'
)
)
);
$adapter = new Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter($config->db->toArray());
Is there a better way of achieving what I'm trying to achieve without having to resort to the service manager?
Ignore the example from the Zend Config introduction page, that's just showing how to make a config object from a PHP array, the structure of the array isn't meant to show anything in particular.
Since you don't want to use the service manager, you need to pass the parameters to the adapter class in the structure it expects. It expects an array, a config object won't work. You've worked out what the structure of the array is, so that's what you need to use.
I think this page in the docs: http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.3/en/tutorials/tutorial.dbadapter.html (the "Basic setup" section) gives a better explanation of the service manager approach, which is how I'd do it in an MVC app at least.
I am writing a PHP application using the Silex framework. I'm using the Doctrine Service Provider, and I can open a connection normally as this:
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\DoctrineServiceProvider(), array(
'dbs.options' => array (
'localhost' => array(
'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'dbname' => 'test',
'user' => 'root',
'password' => 'root',
'charset' => 'utf8',
)
),
));
That works perfectly. What I want now is to add another database connection afterwards in my code. I know I can do it adding another element to dbs.options, but I want to do it afterwards, in the controllers (as different controllers will use different database connections).
Is that possible? I guess I could use something like DriverManager::getConnection($options, $config, $manager); but there's probably a better way to do it.
Thanks!
$conn = DriverManager::getConnection($params, $config);
this is original code to generate new connection, so what you wrote is ok
Link: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/latest/reference/data-retrieval-and-manipulation.html
You can configure multiple db connections using the DoctrineServiceProvider bundled with Silex.
Replace the db.options with an array of configurations where keys are connection names and values configuration options.
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\DoctrineServiceProvider(), array(
'dbs.options' => array (
'mysql_read' => array(
'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
'host' => 'mysql_read.someplace.tld',
'dbname' => 'my_database',
'user' => 'my_username',
'password' => 'my_password',
'charset' => 'utf8',
),
'mysql_write' => array(
'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
'host' => 'mysql_write.someplace.tld',
'dbname' => 'my_database',
'user' => 'my_username',
'password' => 'my_password',
'charset' => 'utf8',
),
),
));
Access multiple connections in your controllers:
$app->get('/blog/{id}', function ($id) use ($app) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE id = ?";
$post = $app['dbs']['mysql_read']->fetchAssoc($sql, array((int) $id));
$sql = "UPDATE posts SET value = ? WHERE id = ?";
$app['dbs']['mysql_write']->executeUpdate($sql, array('newValue', (int) $id));
return "<h1>{$post['title']}</h1>".
"<p>{$post['body']}</p>";
});
