title: How would I got about testing db connection settings in Zend Framework?
body: <p>I have a ini file with db connection settings. I am creating an installer and need help to:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>test db connection settings in ini file with errors (wrong user/pass or cannot select db)</li>
  <li>insert db structure using .sql file.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Is this possible with ZF, I can't find any info anywhere. Should I just do this using direct queries?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
