Hi @Nacho_Huala

When you set up your own account, don’t forget to add your details to your **app** settings, rather than the realtimeDB settings:

At the moment it seems that you can only use one RealTimeDB per app.

Just out of curiosity, why do you need more than one firebase?

I am developing a Jobs App based on GoogleMaps Service , in the first firebase I save the info of the job (User, Description , Coordinates , Payment) , when the main screen starts I get all tags and add the markers in the map, in the second firebase I have all the accounts system. But I will prove with Spreadsheets 🤔

My english is not the better ☹

Why do you need multiple firebase databases? You can also make “branches” within a single database, like:

![levels](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/9/89eaf39ac06cf2fb4c86cafe3fc18e088398b169.png)

Within Thunkable realtime DB block you can then use different keys to access different parts of your database (and/or use join to create the needed keys). For example accounts/account1/name to access the name of the first account and jobs/item1 to access the first item under jobs, etc etc

And then you can use rules, to restrict access to the different branches of your database.

Regards Rob

Hi Bittany,

I think you resolved but, the way to create branches is to create a key similar to directory path:

“root/branch1”  
“root/branch2”  
“root/branch3”

Also you can create a more deep structure.

Hi @AdrianL I’m sorry to bring a dead thread to life.  
How can i query all the children under root node and show them in a list?

Thanks in advance!
