Hi Joseph, What I usually do is three fold:
1. Add is as the default adapter to Zend_Db_Table for use by all my Zend based Models. This also acts as a Registry by the way, since you can call Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter() anywhere. 2. Add it to a Registry as would be normal practice. 3. Possibly add it as a Front Controller parameter so you can retrieve it from any controller action using that method. Where possible I prefer 3, simply because I prefer to avoid as many static calls in my controllers as possible. But a Registry works just fine so long as you use it only as needed.
