Can cake limit the return on characters in a query?
 
I have in view
 
<?php echo substr($additional_posts['description'],0,50);?> 
 
to display the first 50 characters in the post descriptions to give a brief
description to a user...but rather than pulling the whole description in the
find then displaying limited characters, can i limit the description to 50
characters in the find query?
 
Thanks,
 
Dave
