My question is basically the same as this one  
[inductiveautomation.com/forum/v … ion#p34863](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=9934&p=34863&hilit=change+database+connection#p34863)

, just 2.5 years later.

Would like a client to switch to a different data connection while other clients on the same gateway stays at the original.

I just wanted to check if this is now possible (or if it will be with 7.8 )?

Thanks

Unfortunately, your best bet is going to be using a tag binding for the SQL Query expression bindings Database Connection and system.tag.read() for sql queries that are in scripts. These can be bound to to Client Tags.
