Simple - just connect and save the result of the connection. This will
be a resource representing the connection; just use the appropriate
resource in all of your calls (virtually all database function calls
have an optional parameter being the connection resource).

Be aware though: of both databases are on the same database server, and
reachable with the same connection & user, it's often just more lucrative
to use full names for tables in queries, at least in case of MySQL.

True. But there are other reasons for multiple connections. I often have
a separate connection to the same database for error logging (lazily
initiated, not open by default). This allows my error handling code to
log errors to a table, even if the main code does a transaction rollback
later.

Best reards.

"Too many connections" is a quite common error, especially on shared
hosts with a lot of poorly written user scripts.
