INNER was the word I needed to remember to get an alternative to work.
For other people here's what the end query (which returns the same as the above query) turned out to be. SELECT `Contact`.`id`, `Contact`.`name` FROM `contacts` AS `Contact` INNER JOIN contact_companies AS `ContactCompany` ON (`ContactCompany`.`contact_id` = `Contact`.`id`) WHERE 1 = 1 ORDER BY `Contact`.`name` ASC and the Cakephp way is (in my Contact model) $this->find('list', array( 'joins' => array(array( 'table' => 'contact_companies', 'alias' => 'ContactCompany', 'type' => 'INNER', 'conditions' => array( 'ContactCompany.contact_id = Contact.id', ), )), 'order' => 'Contact.name')); (I typed that out, so don't shoot me if I'm missing a parenthesis or something) On Jun 15, 4:46 pm, Zuha <zuha-test...@razorit.com> wrote: > Close... select where we only pull back contacts where the company > belongsTo contact > > On Jun 15, 3:00 pm, Jeremy Burns | Class Outfit > > > > > > > > <jeremybu...@classoutfit.com> wrote: > > Are you trying to do an inner join where you only pull back contacts who > > belong to a company? > > > Jeremy Burns > > Class Outfit > > > jeremybu...@classoutfit.comhttp://www.classoutfit.com > > > On 15 Jun 2011, at 17:44, Zuha wrote: > > > > Seems like this should be easy, and maybe I'm just missing how to do > > > it, but I want to execute the following query.
