How to change Zend_Db_Table name within a Model to insert in multiple tables

Question

Using Zend Framework, I\'ve created a Model to insert a record into a database. My question is, after $this->insert($data) how can I switch the active table

Answer 1

I think you should have another Model_DbTable, Model_DbTable_Bar and call it either

internally:

class Model_DbTable_Foo ... {
  public function addFooAndBar() {
    ...
    $bar = new Model_DbTable_Bar();
    $bar->insert($data2);
  }
}

or externally:

class ModelX ... {
  public function addFoos() {
    $foo = new Model_DbTable_Foo();
    $foo->insert($data);
    $bar = new Model_DbTable_Bar();
    $bar->insert($data2);
  }
}
