connect to multiple databases

Only in case someone else runs across this thread as I did.

It is not that the last database information entered is the one loaded. Whatever connection is set to $active_group is the one that is automatically loaded. Hence when it is repeated the latest is the one stored.

$active_group and $active_record only need to be set once, ideally at the top. This lets you change the default database on the fly by changing one variable.
