Thanks for that tip, Mark. i don't plan to use defaultConnectionName in
this scenario (as i did for the Captcha thread where the table i needed is
in a different database).
i can see where aliasing the connection will make it hard to access the
original connection. Which is why i asked for some elaboration on how/where
it's used. If it can be done during the request life cycle (i.e.
Controllers), i could set the alias just for the Admin-level controllers,
where they WILL need the elevated permissions. The general-level
controllers would never see the alias (i think). But if the alias can't be
used that way, maybe it's the wrong solution.
Is it possible/reasonable to use defaultConnectionName with some
conditional logic to return which connection should be used?
public function defaultConnectionName() {
return $adminIsLoggedIn ? 'admin' : 'default';
}
If that's a reasonable approach, how can i determine $adminIsLoggedIn from
inside the Table(s)? Maybe the whole question is clumsy and/or unnecessary
to start with. :)
Thanks again.
