Should be any easy one, but I couldn't find anything in the docs.

I'm using v2 Hibernate with MySQL. I have a single database installation, but multiple logical databases within it which my app needs to interact with - seperate, self-contained, "data universes". With JDBC you can switch from one database to the next dynamically using conn.setCatalog().

Using Hibernate, do I need a new SesssionFactory for each database instance? If not, how do I switch it?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

you need multiple SesssionFactories.
