Answer 1

Set your connections in DI:
//This service returns a MySQL database
$di->set('dbMaster', function() {
return new \Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql(array(
"host" => "localhost",
"username" => "",
"password" => "",
"dbname" => ""
));
});
//This service returns a PostgreSQL database
$di->set('dbSlave', function() {
return new \Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql(array(
"host" => "localhost",
"username" => "",
"password" => "",
"dbname" => ""
));
});
In your models choose the connection:
public function initialize()
{
$this->setConnectionService('dbMaster');
//or
$this->setConnectionService('dbSlave');
}

Answer 2

Another way to do this, using the same configuration
//This service returns a MySQL database
$di->set('dbMaster', function() {
return new \Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql(array(
"host" => "localhost",
"username" => "",
"password" => "",
"dbname" => ""
));
});
//This service returns a PostgreSQL database
$di->set('dbSlave', function() {
return new \Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql(array(
"host" => "localhost",
"username" => "",
"password" => "",
"dbname" => ""
));
});
In your model set
public function initialize()
{
$this->setReadConnectionService('dbSlave');
$this->setWriteConnectionService('dbMaster');
$this->setSource('table_name');
}
If you use transaction, remember in the injector dependency to change
$di->set('dbMaster' ....
For
$di->setShared('dbMaster'....
And the rest is the same
