Joomla! 5.x Coding • Reading data from an external database in a model

$

I am developing a component, and in one of the Models I need to access a table from a different database (that is on the same server). How can this be done in Joomla 5?

I can see that when the model is constructed, the array of configuration parameters includes a reference to the "local" database driver. I assume I must over-ride this before invoking parent::__construct - is this correct?

In Joomla 4, apparently (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/242 ... joomla-3-2) one called the parent first, then set up a new connection, then called

Code:

parent::setDbo($db);
