Multiple Database Connection Question

[eluser]Tom Schlick[/eluser]
ok, i need to connect to multiple databases... i have read the user guide but i have a question about it...

if i do connect to two databases calling them DB1 & DB2 do i have to call $DB1->query if DB1 is my default connection? i know i will have to with DB2 but since CI already loads it will there be any miscommunication if i just call $this->db for DB1?

thanks in advance
