multiple database connections postgresql

I thought you were trying to connect to multiple databases at the same time. Since you are just connection to one and you are changing

Code:

$active_group = 'desired_db_config';

everything should work with

Code:

$this->load->database();

One thing that could be happening is the pconnect setting in your config. Try setting that to false. If you are switching back and forth with database that is the same host, user, and pass, it might just an existing connection. In your case, it would connect to the wrong database.
