Pablo, The relationships you create in Cake are handled by setting any of the following model properties:
- hasOne - hasMany - belongsTo - hasAndBelongsToMany You are probably familiar with this already if you're using Cake at all. The relationships don't require the database tables themselves to have foreign key constraints. In fact, in all of my applications, I do not have constraints between my database tables in MySQL. In MySQL's eyes, all my tables are 100% independent of each other. Instead, I relate all my tables together at the application level. Specifically, at the model level. This enables me to use all of Cake's power such as dependent = true and the delete callbacks. By relating your tables together at the model layer in Cake, and setting dependent = true (valid for hasOne and hasMany only, btw), Cake will automatically find the related records and delete them for you even though MySQL does not have these tables connected with a foreign key constraint.
