A quick aside: do they really need to be separate databases? Have you considered using schema within a single database instead? Doing things that way has both advantages and disadvantages, so whether you want to do it depends on your needs, but it's worth looking into.

Often, if you're pulling in data from separate databases that can be a hint that your design is separating things into different DBs that should perhaps be together in one.
