Database Connections In Magento
By default, Magento will automatically connect to it’s database and provide two separate resources which you can use to access data: “core_read” and “core_write”.
<?php /** * Get the resource model */ $resource = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource'); /** * Retrieve the read connection */ $readConnection = $resource->getConnection('core_read'); /** * Retrieve the write connection */ $writeConnection = $resource->getConnection('core_write'); |
