Proper way to access Database within Laravel 4 Package

I'm relatively new to Laravel, but I think I'm understanding it pretty well. </unintentional-rhyme>

I'm creating a base package for a project, and it needs to interact with a database (which has been set up and functioning - I did a lot of logic in Route closures and am refactoring it).

I had DB::table('shops')->where(...

but it gave me a Class \xxx\xxx\DB not found or whatnot; so I changed it to

\DB::table('shops')->where(... to fix the namespaces.

Is this the proper way to alleviate the issue within a package? I don't want to be causing some sort of issue that comes back to bite me down the road.

Thanks

If you are using this in controller, so this is the right way to access data

Shop::where('condition', 'value')->get();

check laravel doc http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent

You have to declare it at the top like so 

<?php

use DB;

class myClass {
    public function foo () {
        DB::insert('insert into users (id, name) values (?, ?)', array(1, 'Dayle'));
    }
}
