    I suspect you are wanting to access both databases at the same time
    and within the same DataContext? If so, try your second option (one
    DataDomain, two DataMaps, two DataNodes -- one DataMap assigned to
    your Oracle DataNode and the other DataMap assigned to your MySQL
    DataNode). Then create a DataContext normally (no parameters).
    Cayenne should be able to route to the proper database (through the
    DataNode) depending on which classes you are using (defined in the
    DataMaps). Just make sure you have totally separate classes (don't
    try to reuse the same class in two DataMaps).

    Let us know if you have other issues.
