Possible to use more than one database with database connector?

0
Hello!   I am developing an application where I have realised it may be useful to link an external database with my Mendix application. However I am wondering, is it possible to have certain modules use the external database and other modules use the inbuilt Mendix one? Can I link more than one external database? Or is it an "all or nothing" situation where you can only have one database at a time?

Yes it is possible.  You could modularize your app such that, you could use Mendix DB for certain modules and at the same time you can use DB connectors to connect from other modules.

 

And yes you can even connect with mutliple databases as well but it needs a proper modularization in your design.

Hello Hartley Robinson,

Apart from Mendix database you can use 

1.Database Connector marketplace module to connect with different database.

2.Exposing external database functionality via REST/SOAP services.
