- # Connections are usually created through ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection and retrieved
+ # Connections are usually created through
+ # {ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection}[rdoc-ref:ConnectionHandling#establish_connection] and retrieved
# by ActiveRecord::Base.connection. All classes inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base will use this

# ActiveRecord::Base, but resides in a different database, you can just say <tt>Course.establish_connection</tt>
# and Course and all of its subclasses will use this connection instead.
#
# This feature is implemented by keeping a connection pool in ActiveRecord::Base that is
