Support for multiple database connections

[hughevans]

Hiya, awesome looking gem. How hard do you think it would be to support multiple remotes? Our app connects to a bunch of databases:

class OtherModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  establish_connection 'other_database'
end

Hi,

It should be easy enough. The connection is set to the constant 'remote' in this line.

You could add an option remote_connections that would be used when an entry is introduced:

Forceps.configure remote_connections: {
    Invoice => 'some_database',
        ...
}

Now, instead of using 'remote' directly, it would first try to locate a specific remote database in the options for any given class.

Would that work for you?

I would be willing to merge that PR if you want to work on that.

Thanks, that’s great. I’ll send through the PR when done.
