I used to work with a single database named "doctrine". The query was working properly.

I then decided to use 2 databases so I got my schema like this:

connection: doctrine

Category:
actAs:
I18n:
actAs:
Sluggable:
fields: [name]
Timestampable: ~
fields: [name, description]
columns:
id: ~
name:
type: string(255)
notnull: true
description: string

User:
connection: second
columns:
id: ~
name:
type: string(255)
notnull: true

I did setup my connections in config/databases.yml this way:

all:
doctrine:
// ....
second:
// ....

build-model, build-forms, build-filters and cc got ran. But now, I got an exception saying the "Translation" relation doesn't exist. The Base Models include correctly the bindComponent line:

Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->bindComponent('Category', 'doctrine');

For now, I managed to kind of fixing it with simply swapping the databases order in my config/databases.yml and it's now working again perfectly.

I forgot to mention that in the CategoryTable when i call $this->getConnection()->getName(), it outputs "second"
