Connect extension to database on different server

I have a custom extension that needs to connect to a database on a different server.

I can create a new database connection file based on ezdb.php and just modify it to grab the settings from the extensions site.ini, but the problem I have is that all my classes extend eZPersistentObject and my data type extends eZDataType. Obviously those classes just include the the standard call to eZDB::instance() as well as those classes include other classes.

I am stuck as I don't see a simple way of achieving what I am after.....any help/ideas appreciated!

Hi,

As fare as I remember this is not possible with standard eZ Publish persistent object. Kristof made a patch while ago which allow connect to extrnal DB with eZ P persistent object.

See http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=10667

Patch was made against 3.9 series, thus you will need to clean up it a bit in order to make with work with 4.x

How come hasn't Kristof's patch made it to the regular code?
I guess using some independent connection and abstraction layer would be much safer in this case...
