Can I handle database connections dynamically(in runtime), using solution model or any other way in servoy? In my case, I’m trying to connect to two databases, which are having same name, but in two different servers. So I couldn’t use databaseManager.switchServer(‘crm’, ‘crm1’). Anyone can help on this? ---

databaseManager.switchServer(‘crm’, ‘crm1’) is using ‘named servers’ as I conclude of the statusbar help of this function. seems to me you have to define 2 server connections: 1 - crm, pointing to ip1/crm.db 2 - crm1, pointing to ip2/crm.db then call switchServer at startup
