I usually access the database through my table objects.
However, recently I've needed to do things directly with the database
object. I found the simplest choice was $GLOBALS['db'] = $db.
It's so rare that I directly use it, and a global lookup is pretty cheap
(right?). Anytime I need an object instantiated in my bootstrap I'll
assign it to a global. If I access it more than once in a function, I'll
either localize the variable or try and get it a more reliable way.
I didn't think about using:
Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::getDefaultAdapter();
That seems like it might be a good alternative choice.

if you are using Zend_Controller_Front as I am you can set it as a
parameter:
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->setParam('db', $db)
and then in your controller:
$this->getFrontController()->getParam('db')
So many ways to skin a cat.
