Question about multiple databases

[quote author="xwero" date="1223910130"]I think you have to set the pconnect setting to false if you want to use 2 databases at the same time.[/quote]

I saw that pconnect is one of the major causes for this, but then again if i set it to false i still have to make all the steps for a query
1. select the right db
2. make query
3. send query
4. close db
5. do something with result

Can't i just define both dbs and then set pconnect to false so the only steps are
1. make query
2. send query
3. do something with result

i cant put them in the construct because that one is not called.
