is there any way to do Database.connect without registering the database globally ?
is there a alternative to the ThreadLocalTransactionManager ?

Looking at the code it seems easy to avoid registering it globally. Why do you not want to use ThreadLocalTransactionManager ?

[spand]

Oh the constructor is private

[Nikky]

because i do have a situation where the database user is based on the session (in ktor)
and i do not want to accidentally use the threadlocal database in a transaction rather than the correct one
i'd rather not have it registered in threadlocal and crash at that point

There is coroutine support for that: https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/wiki/Transactions#working-with-coroutines
