Hi folks, hope someone can help...

I've just made the jump over to MVC from webforms and was hoping someone could give me a pointer on the best-practices to follow when using MySQL.

My app's going to be doing a lot of database interactions so unless I do things properly I fear I could end up littering the app with database connections. My best approach so far is to create a class with the db connections and get my models to inherit from that - although that doesn't feel very MVC to me. Does this sound like a good approach?

I have no problem with the syntax or anything like that, it's just the design philosophy behind it.

(I'm still a bit new to MVC so forgive me if my terminology is wrong - or if none of this makes sense!)

Thanks!
