Kohana 3 ORM changing db

Question

I want my SMS model to use other database group, so I did:

class Model_M4B_SMS extends ORM implements Model_Validate {

protected $_has_many = array('m4b_sms_expeditions' => array());
protected $_belongs_to = array('advert'=>array(),'m4b_sms_sender' => array());
protected $_db_group = 'sms';

public function __construct()
{
    $this->_db_group = 'sms';

    parent::__construct();
}
[...]

But it's not working, even if I set mysql login data to some random stuff (so it should give me an excpetion), still nothing.

What's the problem here?

My guess is that your model isn't executed at all. Because you are right, when you specify a $_db_group that does not exist, you should get this error:

ErrorException [ Notice ]: Undefined index: sms

MODPATH/database/classes/Kohana/Database.php [ 65 ]

        if ( ! isset(Database::$instances[$name]))
        {
            if ($config === NULL)
            {
                // Load the configuration for this database
                $config = Kohana::$config->load('database')->$name;
            }

            if ( ! isset($config['type']))
            {
                throw new Kohana_Exception('Database type not defined in :name configuration',

Double check if you model is executed at all, and check if your databasse sms config file does actually have different database values.
