];
And in my routes file I added this route
Route::get('/', function()
{
$users =DB::connection('mysql2')->select('select * from users')->get();
return $users;
});
But when I browse to get the result of the query
QueryException in Connection.php line 729:
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'test.users' doesn't exist
I need someone helps me .

Answer 1

//use model
$user = new \App\User();
$user->setConnection('mysql2');
$users = $user->all();
return $users;
Laravel 5.3

Answer 2

The default env() of database.php file direct to the .env file, so can't find table. Remove the env(), just like upper.

Answer 3

I changed my function on routes.php to the following and the problem solved
(get function deleted).
Route::get('/', function()
{
$users =DB::connection('mysql2')->select('select * from users');
return $users;
});
