Answer 1

Solution

How call a table in setup file using below code:

If you have stay with your code then try $this->getTable(bank_account/account) .it should like $this->getTable('yourmodeltype/entities')

Also.need check below thing:

Check in config.xml

<models>
            <modelstype> <!-- need to change to bank_account to bankaccount>
                <class>Bank_Account_Model</class>
                <resourceModel>modelstype_resource</resourceModel>
            </modelstype>

    <modelstype_resource> <!-- need to change to bank_account to bankaccount>
            <class>Bank_Account_Model_Mysql4</class>
            <entities>
                <account>
                        <table>customer_account</table>
                </account>
            </entities>
        </modelstype_resource>

Also you need to set resource setup and add below code under <global> tag

<resources>
        <modelstype_setup>
            <setup>
                <module>Bank_Account</module>
            </setup>
            <connection>
                <use>core_setup</use>
            </connection>
        </modelstype_setup>
        <modelstype_read>
            <connection>
                <use>core_read</use>
            </connection>
        </modelstype_read>
        <modelstype_write>
            <connection>
                <use>core_write</use>
            </connection>
        </modelstype_write>
    </resources>
