Database Eloquent
Last updated 2 years ago.

You can simply override the table name in your Eloquent Model, example :

 protected $table = 'pmt_users';

my database config has the following:

'prefix'    => 'pmt_',

if i use this code:

protected $table = 'pmt_users';

will make the table reference as:

'pmt_pmt_users'

i don't want that.

i need soemthing like:

protect $dbPrefixOveride = '';
protect $table = 'users';

to get the table

'users'

and ignore my database.php setup. and if i ommit the $dbPrefixOverride, it uses the default database.php prefix setting.

does this explain it better?

Yes I understand but problem is if you add a prefix in database config, laravel will prepend every database access with it (think of it as 'namespacing' your database). I already experimented quite a lot with it.

What in your user case prevents you from setting the prefix at the model level ?

Alternatively, as you choose which DB connection to use on each model, you could setup a non-prefixed connection in config/database.php along with your prefixed one, and use this connection on non-prefixed models.

I little bit late but my simple solution is encapsulation.

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

define ('MY_PREFIX_CONSTANT','my_prefix');

class UberModel extends Model
{
    protected $prefix;

    public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
    {
        if(isset($this->prefix)){
            $this->table = $this->prefix.$this->table;
        } else {
            $this->table = MY_PREFIX_CONSTANT.$this->table;
        }

        parent::__construct($attributes);
    }
}

Now you need to keep in mind to use UberModel. U can just change use declaration to use alias for every model file. Just define $prefix variable in model where you need custom prefix. Otherwise define default prefix in MY_PREFIX_CONSTANT.

I am having the safe difficulty but on only one relation.. for ex.

i have two tables 1. data_leagues 2. tipp_league_user

i have this relation and the default connection on League model is 'mysql_data' which uses a prefix 'data_'. and a different connection which has tipp_ prefix.

this is the relation in users model on leagues. and i want to refer tipp_league_user as the pivot table but its taking data_league_user.

public function leagues() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\League','league_user','user_id','league_id'); }

any fix for this ? or i am doing it wrong ?

Nevermind. I just changed the table name from tipp_league.. to data_tipp_league..
