Multiple DB Connectivity

How to define services for establishing connectivity between multiple databases?
Actually, I want to connect my alfresco platform to multiple databases, so that I get the option whether I want to store data in which database.

Is it possible?

That is absolutely not possible using the core Alfresco services. All data is always stored in a single database. Otherwise you will not be able to provide transactionality with your operations.

Technically, it is possible to integrate other databases for custom data management, i.e. if you need to retrieve some master data from other systems. But that always requires custom implementation and is not something that is considered "standard extension / customisation".
