Hello,

I'm querying several different databases with the exact same sql statement. The only difference between them is the database name and sql\_last\_value based on ID. Is it possible to use one jdbc input so that it will cover all databases and create separate last\_run\_metadata\_path?

Let's say I'm using two databases: CARS, SCOOTERS  
My queries would look like this:

> select \* from CARS  
> select \* from SCOOTERS

So the input would run both queries and create two separate last\_run\_metadata\_path files, for example: `.last_run_query_CARS` and `.last_run_query_SCOOTERS.`  
If not, i will use separate jdbc input entries.  
Thanks.
