I have two databases, How can I select a database?

Before this $builder, I want to select a database, what shall I do? I don't want to use raw SQL. Thanks!

$builder = $this->modelsManager->createBuilder()  
            ->columns($cols)  
            ->distinct(true)  
            ->from($ZUC)  
            ->leftJoin($ZU, "$ZU.user_id = $ZUC.user_id")  
            ->leftJoin($ZSC, "$ZUC.subclass_id = $ZSC.subclass_id")  
            ->leftJoin($ZC, "$ZC.class_id = $ZSC.class_id")  
            ->leftJoin($ZCH, "$ZCH.order_no = $ZUC.order_no")  
            ->where($conStr, $conArr)  
            ->orderBy($order);

Hello,

think you need raw SQL, something like that:

Phalcon ORM is reading the database from the model files.

class MyModel extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Model
{
    public function getSource()
    {
        return 'your_db_name';
    };
}

You can write your logic here, determining which database should be used.

share with you. Like this 

  $zx_user_class = new ZxUserClass(); //your primary table
  $zx_user_class->setConnectionService('dbWrite'); // select databse
  $modelsManager = $zx_user_class->getModelsManager();
  $builder = $modelsManager->createBuilder()
   ->columns($cols)
   ->distinct(true)
   ->from($ZUC)
   ->leftJoin($ZU, "$ZU.user_id = $ZUC.user_id")
   ->leftJoin($ZSC, "$ZUC.subclass_id = $ZSC.subclass_id")
   ->leftJoin($ZC, "$ZC.class_id = $ZSC.class_id")
   ->leftJoin($ZCH, "$ZCH.order_no = $ZUC.order_no")
   ->where($conStr, $conArr)
   ->orderBy($order)
