Hi All,

We have kong on one windows docker container, progresql on another container and cassandra on another container.  
How to connect to kong api gateway to both databases, for some api’s link to porgresql and for some api’s link to cassandra db ?

Thanks,  
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,

The database setting only allows for individual options, ie: `postgres`, `cassandra`, and `off` and not a combination of them. It sounds like you would benefit from having multiple installs.
