$id = DB::connection('mysql1')->table('article_category')->insertGetId(
    array(
        'name' => $name
    )
);

Answer 1

You do raw this way:

DB::connection('mysql1')
    ->statement(
         DB::raw('insert into article_category (name) values (?)'),
         array($name)
    );

To get the Id after an insert this is a way:

Create a model for your table:

class Post extends Eloquent {}

And create a record on your table selecting a particular connection connection:

$post = Post::on('connectionName')->create($arrayOfvalues);

echo $post->id;
