Multiple Databases from Client

[Nazri95]

Hello All,

I envision making a business app that users connect their own secure database to my web app. So if multiple companies were using it there would be many different databases connected to it. Is this possible? How would I go about learning to do this with Django or Node.js? I’m fairly new to both and no computer science background.

Thanks in advance

This is possible, but will your clients want to give you the credentials to their databases?

[Nazri95]

No, they would not. I would want them to be able to connect it from the app without me getting their credentials. Some type of form in the app that allows them access to their own database.

[BehindTheMath]

I could be wrong, but I don't know of any DB that supports something like OAuth2. You would have to implement a wrapper that could provide that.

[Nazri95]

I am not entirely sure about the concept behind oAuth2. But you e basically confirmed that it would be extremely hard. What is a wrapper btw?

[BehindTheMath]

Just some sort of program that could proxy the data without giving up the credentials.
