<title>Opening a new connection</title>
<para>
Opening a new database connection in Doctrine is very easy. If you wish
to use PDO (<ulink url="http://www.php.net/PDO">www.php.net/PDO</ulink>)
you can just initalize a new PDO object:
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
$dsn = 'mysql:dbname=testdb;host=127.0.0.1';
$user = 'dbuser';
$password = 'dbpass';
try {
$dbh = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
?>]]></programlisting>
<para>
If your database extension isn't supported by PDO you can use special
Doctrine_Adapter class (if availible). The following example uses DB2
adapter:
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
$dsn = 'db2:dbname=testdb;host=127.0.0.1';
$user = 'dbuser';
$password = 'dbpass';
try {
$dbh = Doctrine_Adapter::connect($dsn, $user, $password);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
?>]]></programlisting>
<para>
The next step is opening a new Doctrine_Connection.
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection($dbh);
?>]]></programlisting>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="lazy-conn">
<title>Lazy Connections</title>
<para>
Lazy-connecting to database is handled via Doctrine_Db wrapper. When
using Doctrine_Db instead of PDO / Doctrine_Adapter, lazy-connecting to
database is being performed (that means Doctrine will only connect to
database when needed).
</para>
<para>
This feature can be very useful when using for example page caching,
hence not actually needing a database connection on every request.
Remember connecting to database is an expensive operation.
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
// we may use PDO / PEAR like DSN
// here we use PEAR like DSN
$dbh = new Doctrine_Db('mysql://username:password@localhost/test');
// !! no actual database connection yet !!
// initalize a new Doctrine_Connection
$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection($dbh);
// !! no actual database connection yet !!
// connects database and performs a query
$conn->query('FROM User u');
?>]]></programlisting>

<sect1 id="managing-conn">
<title>Managing Connections</title>
<para>
From the start Doctrine has been designed to work with multiple
connections. Unless separately specified Doctrine always uses the current
connection for executing the queries. The following example uses
openConnection() second argument as an optional connection alias.
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
// Doctrine_Manager controls all the connections
$manager = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance();
// open first connection
$conn = $manager->openConnection(new PDO('dsn','username','password'), 'connection 1');
?>]]></programlisting>
<para>
For convenience Doctrine_Manager provides static method connection()
which opens new connection when arguments are given to it and returns the
current connection when no arguments have been speficied.
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
// open first connection
$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection(new PDO('dsn','username','password'), 'connection 1');
$conn2 = Doctrine_Manager::connection();
// $conn2 == $conn
?>]]></programlisting>
<para>
The current connection is the lastly opened connection.
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
// open second connection
$conn2 = $manager->openConnection(new PDO('dsn2','username2','password2'), 'connection 2');
$manager->getCurrentConnection(); // $conn2
?>]]></programlisting>
<para>
You can change the current connection by calling setCurrentConnection().
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
$manager->setCurrentConnection('connection 1');
$manager->getCurrentConnection(); // $conn
?>]]></programlisting>
<para>
You can iterate over the opened connection by simple passing the manager
object to foreach clause. This is possible since Doctrine_Manager
implements special IteratorAggregate interface.
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
// iterating through connections
foreach($manager as $conn) {
}
?>]]></programlisting>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="conn-component-binding">
<title>Connection-component binding</title>
<para>
Doctrine allows you to bind connections to components (= your
ActiveRecord? classes). This means everytime a component issues a query
or data is being fetched from the table the component is pointing at
Doctrine will use the bound connection.
</para>
<programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
<?php
$conn = $manager->openConnection(new PDO('dsn','username','password'), 'connection 1');
$conn2 = $manager->openConnection(new PDO('dsn2','username2','password2'), 'connection 2');
$manager->bindComponent('User', 'connection 1');
$manager->bindComponent('Group', 'connection 2');
$q = new Doctrine_Query();
// Doctrine uses 'connection 1' for fetching here
$users = $q->from('User u')->where('u.id IN (1,2,3)')->execute();
// Doctrine uses 'connection 2' for fetching here
$groups = $q->from('Group g')->where('g.id IN (1,2,3)')->execute();
?>]]></programlisting>
