It is going to be a little more difficult for you coming to this without any prior knowledge of databases. However, I wish I had worked within the constraints of this framework (OOP/MVC Design Pattern) before I had the chance to teach myself a lot of bad habits so you have that going for you.
Whilst book.cakephp.org does mention the use of DISTINCT and GROUP etc. it is likely to cover them as if you already know what they do. It may be worthwhile reading through some MySQL tutorials (I assume you're using MySQL) just to get your head around the possibilities open to you. I have never read through a tutorial from start to finish but a quick Google found this one which seems to cover most of the functions: http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/ someone else may be able to recommend a better one though.
