Re: Can't locate the database?

I could be wrong, but here is my understanding.  You have the default config and the test_default config.  Now.  I was under the impression when I first looked in there that there was a default and test_database that you could change which one you were pointing to based on the project you were working on.  After all, there are instances when you want access to multiple databases at the same time.  I was hoping to set somewhere in my code that I was using cake_posts database and use that as I saw fit.  Is this impossible?

Where I have my cake directory I would like be able to use different database settings as I see fit eventually.

Admittedly, I was short on time and rushed to the very end so that I could practice some of the coding aspect (long story).  But, based on what I described, is it doable?

I'm actually not sure offhand how to change the database config. Why do you want to? Why not just specify your database details in the $default config?
