Newbie question about multiple databases
I'm a newbie trying to understand CAKE, and so far so good. I've understood the 'blog' tutorial. I am trying to make an app where users login and then use the app to add their data to their own copy of a database. There would be lots of databases (all same structure) each solely for that user. I think I see how the useDbConfig bit works, but I'm a bit foggy about how to go about it and how CAKE would expect the controllers, model, views to be arranged, for all the different users. If this isn't too trivial a question, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
I had an email hiccup yesterday, so I'm not sure if you got my last message. Just in case I'll update you on what I've found. The bottom line is that it works in 1.1.11.4064 and doesn't in 1.1.14.4797. I don't know if a bug was introduced in 1.1.14, but I guess it's possible. Is there a way to inform the developers? The bug theory doesn't quite stand since you were able to do it even with the alpha. What version of php are you using?

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
Well, it turns out that it's a bug that first appeared in 1.1.14. It seems that it was first reported on the 8th. The ticket number is 2370.

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
Two different servers can act differently. I have a SUSE LAMP server at work and an Ubuntu LAMP server at home, and they experience different issues. I think I must have compiled Apache and PHP differently. On Apr 10, 9:05 am, Sergei Gerasenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, I duplicated the setup at work and everything went great.

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
Okay, I just tried it, and it worked. Here's what I did:
Downloaded cake_1.2.0.4798alpha, extracted it, and made app/tmp
writeable.
I created the following databases/users/tables:
database: multidbtest_a
user: multidbtest_a
table: users (id, name)
database: multidbtest_b
user:multidbtest_b
table: profiles (id, user_id, name)
I setup app/config/database.php as follows:
var $default = array(
'driver' = 'mysql',
'persistent' = false,
'host' = 'localhost',
'login' = 'multidbtest_a',
'password' = 'NNJdALDhvm6Uqm8,',
'database' = 'multidbtest_a',
'prefix' = ''
);
var $dbb = array(
'driver' = 'mysql',
'persistent' = false,
'host' = 'localhost',
'login' = 'multidbtest_b',
'password' = ':.bwaJ6wXCDQs8Q:',
'database' = 'multidbtest_b',
'prefix' = ''
);
I created two models with two controllers. The first model is User:
class User extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'User';
var $useDbConfig = 'default';
var $useTable = 'users';
var $hasOne = array(
'Profile' = array(
'className' = 'Profile',
'foreignKey'= 'user_id'
)
);
}
The other model is Profile:
class Profile extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Profile';
var $useDbConfig = 'dbb';
var $useTable = 'profiles';
var $belongsTo = array(
'User' = array(
'className' = 'User',
'foreignKey'= 'user_id'
)
);
}
Then, my two controllers:
class UsersController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'users';
var $scaffold;
}
class ProfilesController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'profiles';
var $scaffold;
}
I browsed to somesite.com/users and created a couple of users, then
went over to somesite.com/profiles and created some profiles for those
users. That's it. Took about 5 minutes to get this up and running. The
real key to making this work is the persistent key (ha! a pun) in the
database configs. I think 1.2 defaults to persistent false, where 1.1
doesn't.

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
I must admit that I should have asked you about what you found about
the persistent key thingy. Should it be set to false in this
situation? And if so, why do you think it's the case? Sorry if it sounds
like an interview question :)

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
I ran into this too. One of the database configs has to be default. So
change $psw to $default, and remove var $useConfig in your customer
model (it uses default by, well, default).
If persistent is set to true, you can't use two configs
simultaneously. I'm guessing if persistent is true, and the default
database config (host, username, password, database) is used, it keeps
that connection open. Then, when your other model comes into play it
will try to use the same connection.

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, that didn't do it.
Here's the modified app/config/database.php
class DATABASE_CONFIG
{
var $default = array('driver' = 'mysql',
'connect' = 'mysql_connect',
'host' = 'localhost',
'login' = '***',
'password' = '***',
'database' = 'publicschoolworks',
'persistent' = false,
'prefix' = '');
var $pbs = array('driver' = 'mysql',
'connect' = 'mysql_connect',
'host' = 'localhost',
'login' = '***',
'password' = '***',
'database' = 'pbs',
'persistent' = false,
'prefix' = '');
var $test = array('driver' = 'mysql',
'connect' = 'mysql_connect',
'host' = 'localhost',
'login' = 'user',
'password' = 'password',
'database' = 'project_name-test',
'prefix' = '');
}
And the models:
?
class Customer extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Customer';
}
?
?
class Student extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Student';
var $useDbConfig = 'pbs';
var $belongsTo = array(
'Customer' = array('className' = 'Customer')
);
}
?
Let me know if you can think of something else.
Thanks,
Sergei

If persistent is set to true, you can't use two configs
simultaneously. I'm guessing if persistent is true, and the default
database config (host, username, password, database) is used, it keeps
that connection open. Then, when your other model comes into play it
will try to use the same connection.

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
I was using 1.1.14 but then when I got the error I tried the
1.2.0.4798-alpha. That is, I replaced the 1.1.14 cake directory
with the cake directory from the alpha distribution.

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
Did migrating to 1.2.0.4798alpha fix your problem? I've found, that
even though it's an alpha, 1.2 works pretty well.

newbie question about multiple databases
Hmm, I posted this a couple of hours ago but couldn't find it in the post list. So, I'm posting it again. Sorry if this is the second time you guys are getting it. === Hi everybody, I'm considering converting my application into CakePHP. Currently I have 3 databases within my application and the first one has several tables that are referenced by tables in the other two databases. Problem 1. I have tables that are named the same in at least two databases. Can models, controllers and views be isolated to a folder that would correspond to a specific database? Cake Views are already in a folder by the controller name but models and controllers exist in the same directories. Problem 2. I don't know how to describe a model that has a relationship to a table from a different database. What's the best way to handle this situation in Cake? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: newbie question about multiple databases
A brief overview. You need to create separate entries in your database config file, one for each database. In your model, specify which database to use. Then, in your controller, specify which models to use. You can use multiple models in your controller. If you need to know the specifics of each of these steps, search or ask here.
