General
1

In this tutorial I’m gonna show you how to get MULTIPLE ReplitDBs in Python.

  1. Make a Database class
from replit import db

Database = type(db)
  1. make instances of it
from replit import db

Database = type(db)

new_db = Database('https://' + 'DB URL here')

Template here: https://replit.com/@SnakeyKing/Multiple-ReplitDBs-Template

Could you show an example of this in action?

3

Well, I dunno wether this works or not.

Then shouldn’t you be sure before posting this?
It’s like writing a book on history then saying ‘I don’t know if this is true’.

Please confirm that the code is correct before posting it.

P.S. DB urls are very unsafe.

Well I looked in the replit library and apperantly there is a Database class

@NateDhaliwal I made a template https://replit.com/@SnakeyKing/Multiple-ReplitDBs-Template#main.py try it if you want to see if it works or not

7

well, each repl only gets one db url. Don’t use database proxies because I already hacked into both of idkwhttph’s and added a rick roll.

yes, in fact, it’s located at replit.database.Database, along with other datatypes.

Or…

from replit import db

db.db_url = os.environ['DB_URL']

AND PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU DON’T HAVE A WEBSITE ON YOUR REPL

Well then that means the only situation using ReplitDB proxies are safe are is when you want to share the DB accross multiple Webview-repls.

Yeah. Until Replit fixes Repl identity.
