Set the default propel connection for entire php process

Propel 1.6 and Symfony 1.4

I'm looking for a way to programmatically set the default propel connection for the length of an entire php process. The issue is that I'm using an alternative db for testing purposes and I have a good deal of code that doesn't pass the PropelPDO object currently.

Can this be done? Any tips? Thanks.

So, the solution to this was to use the following, pretty clean and sweet:

//override the "default" "propel" dsn and set it to our testing db!
\Propel::setConnection(
    "propel",
    Propel::getConnection(SqliteSetup::$databaseName)
);

Why not use environments in your databases.yml?

dev:
  propel:
    class:        sfPropelDatabase
    param:
      classname:  DebugPDO
    etc, etc


stage:
  propel:
    class:        sfPropelDatabase
    param:
      classname:  PropelPDO
  etc, etc


prod:
  propel:
    class:        sfPropelDatabase
    param:
      classname:  PropelPDO
  etc, etc
