Multiple connections

config/clickhouse.php maps connection names to connection configs. The service provider merges each entry into config('database.connections.<name>').

1. Publish the config file:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=clickhouse-config

2. Add a connection to config/clickhouse.php:

   return [
       'clickhouse' => [
           // The default connection
       ],
   
       'clickhouse2' => [
           'driver' => 'clickhouse',
           'host' => env('CLICKHOUSE2_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
           'port' => env('CLICKHOUSE2_PORT', '8123'),
           'database' => 'default',
           'username' => 'default',
           'password' => '',
           'timeout_connect' => 2,
           'timeout_query' => 2,
           'https' => false,
           'retries' => 0,
           'fix_default_query_builder' => true,
       ],
   ];

   The order of precedence, highest first: the connections of config/database.php, the published config/clickhouse.php, the defaults of the package.

3. Set the connection on a model:

   use PhpClickHouseLaravel\BaseModel;
   
   class MyTable2 extends BaseModel
   {
       protected $connection = 'clickhouse2';
   
       protected $table = 'my_table2';
   }

4. Set the connection on a migration:

   return new class extends \PhpClickHouseLaravel\Migration
   {
       protected $connection = 'clickhouse2';
   
       public function up()
       {
           static::write('CREATE TABLE my_table2 ...');
       }
   
       public function down()
       {
           static::write('DROP TABLE my_table2');
       }
   };

For migrate, schema:dump and migrate:fresh with many connections, see Migration commands.
