How to programmatically get the current database Mongoid is writing to?

Question

I am talking to multiple databases using Mongoid.override_database(\"database_name\") using Mongoid with rails. How do I find the current database programmatically?

Answer 1

The new way to get this is

Mongoid::Config.clients["default"]["database"]

You can also just have a look at

Mongoid::Config.clients

to see what else is available.
