Let's say you have a situation where your Symfony application cannot get its database connection information from the databases.yml file.
In this situation, how can you set up a database connection "by hand" (let's assume Doctrine as the ORM)?

Maybe use "Opening New Connections"
// bootstrap.php
// ...
$dsn = 'mysql:dbname=testdb;host=127.0.0.1';
$user = 'dbuser';
$password = 'dbpass';
$dbh = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection($dbh);

But how do you cause this connection to be the default connection in the same manner as the connection information in
databases.yml turns into the default connection for the rest of the application? Or does it become the default connection merely by running in bootstrap.php?

In fact, you "simply" want to override the default behavior (processing something else instead of
databases.yml) ? Edited my answer.
