@tiago: I am not quite sure what you try to accomplish. If model A should be stored in database 1 and model B should be stored in database 2, then you can set the variable $useDbConfig in your models:

var $useDbConfig = ‘yourDBConfiguration’;

Very, very nice, i have 2 databases, one for users and other for content. :-) But, how can i change “on the fly”?

I use a similar approach, but in AppModel. Using your condition, it would look like this:

function __construct($id=false, $table=null, $ds=null) { if (strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/tests')) { $this->useDbConfig = 'test'; } parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds); }
