Rails Multisite

This gem provides multi-db support for Rails applications.

Using its middleware you can partition your app so each hostname has its own db.

It provides a series of helper for working with multiple database, and some additional rails tasks for working with them.

It was extracted from Discourse. http://discourse.org

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_multisite'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_multisite

Usage

Configuration requires a file called: config/multisite.yml that specifies connection specs for all dbs.

Exectue a query on each connection

RailsMultisite::ConnectionManagement.each_connection do |db|
  # run query in context of db
  # eg: User.find(1)
end
RailsMultisite::ConnectionManagement.each_connection(threads: 5) do |db|
  # run query in context of db, will do so in a thread pool of 5 threads
  # if any query fails an exception will be raised
  # eg: User.find(1)
end
