No Problem. My 0.2 cents says go with associations because you can use persistmodel = true for a perfomance boost.
Plus it makes more sense to me to keep the data relationships in the model since anything very useful with the database will be very dependent on the relationships and the structure of the database. The other side is if you want a component that is truly re-usable in another application you need to keep it independent. -ie maybe your shopping cart stores id's and types (one of which might be the string "product") and it's your controller that sticks in a shoppingcart_type = "product" and then later looks it up using the Product model --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
