I'm using MongoDB and MongoID in a rails app, how can some models be a part of a different mongo database on the same server? How would I accomplish something like that? I've run into the same problem with mysql before and couldn't find a reasonable solution.
Any thoughts?
The newest versions of Mongoid support this. See the docs.
Snippets:
config/mongoid.yml:
defaults: &defaults
host: localhost
slaves:
- host: localhost
port: 27018
- host: localhost
port: 27019
databases:
secondary:
database: secondary_database
host: localhost
port: 27020
slaves:
- host: localhost
port: 27021
- host: localhost
port: 27022
In your model:
class Business
include Mongoid::Document
set_database :secondary
end
