Simultaneously? If so, perhaps you'd rather use database links.

Well, if you could ask a question clearly, we could answer clearly as well.

What I meant was: if your form is supposed to fetch data from tables that belong to different databases, I think that you shouldn't switch from one database to another (i.e. connect to USER_A/PW_A@DB_A and then to USER_B/PW_B@DB_B etc.), but create database links and use them while manipulating data in all those tables.

On the other hand, maybe a distributed database is what you really need. Or, maybe something else; I can't tell, you provided too few information.
