Q10. In my rule, I want to talk to two different databases. What is the best approach to implement this?

Each xserver that you run can talk to only one database. As such you cannot have one rule talking to two databases. But you can potentially run two xservers one for each database and then write a rule in first xserver that can call the other xserver rule to access the other database.
