Can I change the database for is_unique?

change it back after the rule?

*edit* That wouldn't work really...

But really none of my controllers are touching the database directly so it's not sticking with one programming style. I was just curious if it was possible. Most of my database calls in the models I call directly form a database object.

Code:

private $auth; // Auth Database

  function __construct() {
    parent::__construct();
    // Load Databases
    $this->auth = $this->load->database('default',TRUE);
  }
