To create a model for the table members
in your database, create the file application/classes/model/member.php
with the following syntax:
class
Model_Member
extends
ORM
{
...
}
(this should provide more examples)
If you wish to change the database table that a model uses, just override the $_table_name
variable like this:
protected
$_table_name
=
'strange_tablename'
;
ORM assumes each model (and database table) has an id
column that is indexed and unique. If your primary key column isn't named id
, that's fine - just override the $_primary_key
variable like this:
protected
$_primary_key
=
'strange_pkey'
;
For each model, you can define which database configuration ORM will run queries on. If you override the $_db_group
variable in your model, ORM will connect to that database. Example:
protected
$_db_group
=
'alternate'
;
