Registering Zend Database Adapter in Registry

Question

I am looking to register a reference to the main Database Adapter in the Registry during Bootstrapping so it can be used elsewhere in my site (specifically the Authorisation

If you are using Zend Framework 1.8 just do something like this in your controller/action:

class CreateorderController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function testAction()
    {
        //more code
        $users_obj = new Default_Model_Users(); //this would load the model using the Default namespace
        //more code
    }
}

My Defaul_Model_Users class would look something like this:

_table) {
            $this->_table = new Default_Model_DbTable_Users();
        }
        return $this->_table;
    }

    public function fetchAll()
    {
        $result = $this->getTable()->fetchAll();

        return $result;
    }
}

And the part of the model which "interacts" directly with the database tables is found inside DbTable directory will look like this:

_db->setFetchMode(Zend_Db::FETCH_OBJ);
    }
}

Then I would have the same application.ini generated by Zend Framework with this small addition:

resources.db.adapter               = "PDO_MYSQL"
resources.db.params.host           = "localhost"
resources.db.params.dbname         = "mydb"
resources.db.params.username       = "root"
resources.db.params.password       = "password"

That is how I did without without having to change the bootstrap files.
