4 Switching Database or Collection at Runtime

In addition to storing dynamic attributes, as of version 1.3.0 of the plugin you can also switch which database and/or collection to persist to at runtime.

For example:

Person.withDatabase("administrators") {
    new Person(name:"Bob").save()
}

The above example will save a Person instance to the 'administrators' database. The database is used for the scope of the closure. You can switch database for the scope of the active session:

Person.useDatabase("administrators") 
new Person(name:"Bob").save()

In addition, there are equivalent withCollection and useCollection methods for switching collection at runtime.
