Option to specify the mongo driver

[MatejJan]

Sometimes you need to connect to multiple mongo databases from the same app. That can be done by specifying the internal mongo driver when creating the collection as show here:

var database = new MongoInternals.RemoteCollectionDriver("<mongo url>");
MyCollection = new Mongo.Collection("collection_name", { _driver: database });

This could work in PeerDB in a similar fashion that you can specify a custom collection to use.

Hm, so why not specifying then this MyCollection to PeerDB?

See here example for custom DDP connection. You can do a similar thing for multiple databases, no?

But really, multiple MongoDB databases, what type of an app you are doing? ;-)

Ah, yes, I forget that you can pass exactly which collection to use directly as well.

I was going to have store purchases in a separate database than the main app db. I'm now reconsidering how useful this is. :)
