I often use the Table Module pattern or Domain Model pattern -- and in
these cases, you attach data providers to your model, and pull from
there. So, with that in mind, you could create methods in your model for
pulling the default db table adapter or the table object itself, for
that matter.
(For an example, look at the Quick Start guide, which demonstrates a
table module pattern.)
