Hi Amit,

I don't fully understand your question, but I'm pretty sure you need to read this: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...cting.html, which describes how to choose from a number of different "option groups" at runtime.

If you want more flexibility than this you will probably need to extend the core DB code.

Thanks for your reply,

Actually i want to switch database runtime. so if i defined the db group in database.php then it work's fine.But when i connect it to manually as define above it is not connecting.
