Welcome to The Cookbook

The useDbConfig property is a string that specifies the name of the database connection to use to bind your model class to the related database table. You can set it to any of the database connections defined within your database configuration file. The database configuration file is stored in /app/config/database.php.

The useDbConfig property is defaulted to the 'default' database connection.

Example usage:

class Example extends AppModel {
   var $useDbConfig = 'alternate';
}

1. class Example extends AppModel {
2. var $useDbConfig = 'alternate';
3. }
