Will Zend let me connect to multiple legacy databases for a single page?

I have to connect to lots of legacy databases and bring back the information for a single integrated page.

Will Zend let me do that "naturally" or is that s开发者_如何转开发omething that can be done in Zend only as a "hack"?

Am I better off rolling my own for things like this kind of project and leaving frameworks out of the picture?

Thanks.

edit: most frameworks don't seem to cater to this. I often feel like I'm the only guy that needs to connect to a boatload of resources and put them in one page.

There is no limitation on Zend to do that, you can use the database resource loader to load several instances of Zend_Db objects and use them at your disposal.

You shouldn't have any problems. There's even a "multidb" resource plugin: Zend_Application_Resource_Multidb which sounds like it supports exactly your use-case.
