Use database depending on subdomain

Question

Is it OK to set the database name setting depending on subdomain for each request?

Something like this in a middleware:

from django.db import connection

company_name = ... # read the subdomain
connection.settings_dict['NAME'] = 'db_' + company_name

I think it is not OK.

Are you trying to make a multi-tenant application? Look at this question:
