But the caching can be configured with `$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCache']`, `$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCacheTTL']` and `$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCacheName']`. `$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCache']` define the caching mechanism, possible values are: apcuse apc cachexcacheuse xcache cachememcache://<host>\[:<port>\]use memcache cache on <host>:<port>redis://<host>\[:<port>\]use redis cache on <host>:<port>redis://<socket>use redis cache on <socket> filearrayuse array cachefalsedisable the cache`$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCacheTTL']` is an integer value, that define the *time to live*(default value is 1 second for backend and 15 second for frontend). `$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCacheName']` is a string for uniq identify cache entries. This is useful if you have a shared cache like memcache (default value is `md5(/absolute/path/to/bit3/contao-doctrine-dbal-driver/src/Contao/Doctrine/Driver/MySQL/Statement.php)`). ### Different caching in frontend and backend [](#different-caching-in-frontend-and-backend) You can add `_FE` or `_BE` to each cache config key, to define different caching in frontend and backend. For example `$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCache_FE']` define the frontend caching mechanism and `$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbCacheTTL_BE']` define the backend caching time to live. Accessing the doctrine dbal connection -------------------------------------- [](#accessing-the-doctrine-dbal-connection) If you have installed [bit3/contao-doctrine-dbal](https://github.com/bit3/contao-doctrine-dbal), you should use the dependency injection container: ``` class MyClass { public function myFunc() { global $container; /** @var \Doctrine\DBAL\Connection $connection */ $connection = $container['doctrine.connection.default']; $connection->query('...'); } } ``` Alternatively you can get the connection from the database instance: ``` class MyClass { public function myFunc() { /** @var \Doctrine\DBAL\Connection $connection */ $connection = Database::getInstance()->getConnection(); } } ``` ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 97.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
