> ## Multi-database connection considerations

> When you develop a multi-database application, keep in mind the following information on database connections:

> - Connect all databases accessed by the application at compile time. Once compiled, the application can run no matter where you store the databases or how you connect to them.

> - Establish unique logical names for each of the databases you connect. Use these names to reference the databases within your application. These names are stored in the r-code of the application at compilation time. For more information on logical database names, see the "Logical database names" section.
