    <p>I tend to work at the DbTable like you do. I've found it effective when I need to query multiple tables in a single action to create another layer of model above the dbTable. Similar to a service or domain layer. This way I only have to call a single model but I still have the functionality I need. <br /></p> <p>Here is a simple example that may eventually interact with 5 DbTable classes and most likely a couple of Row classes as well:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php class Application_Model_TrackInfo { protected $_track; protected $_bidLocation; protected $_weekend; protected $_shift; protected $_station; public function __construct() { //assign DbTable models to properties for convience $this-&gt;_track = new Application_Model_DbTable_Track(); } /** * * @param type $trackId * @return type object */ public function getByTrackId($trackId) { $trackData = $this-&gt;_track-&gt;fetchRow($trackId); //getAllInfo() Application_Model_Row_TRack $result = $trackData-&gt;getAllInfo(); //returns std object reflecting data from 3 DbTable classes return $result; } /** *Get Station from trackid through bidlocationid * * @param type $trackId * @return type object */ public function getStation($trackId){ $data = $this-&gt;_track-&gt;fetchRow($trackId); //This a Application_Model_Row_Track method $result= $data-&gt;getStationFromBidLocation(); return $result; } } </code></pre> <p>I hope this helps.<br /></p> <p><strong>[EDIT]</strong> Since I wrote this answer I have learned the benefits of Domain Models and Data Mappers. Wow what a difference in my app. Not a magic bullet, but a huge improvement.<br /> Thanks to<br /> Alejandro Gervasio over at <a href="http://phpmaster.com/author/agervasio/" rel="nofollow">PHPMaster.com</a><br /> Rob Allen at <a href="http://akrabat.com/" rel="nofollow">Akrabat.com</a><br /> and <br /> Pádraic Brady at <a href="http://www.survivethedeepend.com/" rel="nofollow">Surviving The Deepend</a></p> <p>for all their help in understanding this pattern.</p>

    1. COEverytime you use the Application_Model_TrackInfo class, it does what I have an issue with. Creates dbTable object(s) which may or may not be used, then it gets deleted, and your next use of it creates this all over again. Should these dbTable connections be generated in a factory paradigm or is multiple concurrent instances an acceptable overhead to have to deal with?

    2. CO@cillosis It sounds like you might be better off looking at caching strategies so you can minimize your Db queries. An ORM (with some data persistence) solution might be appropriate as well.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
