These are the Models and the corresponding SQL-Structure: class VsArticle extends AppModel {
var $name = 'VsArticle'; var $actsAs = array("Containable"); var $displayField = "title"; var $order = "VsArticle.title"; var $belongsTo = array("VsShop" => array("exclusive" => true), "VsMake" => array("exclusive" => true)); var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array("VsCategory" => array( "className" => "VsCategory", "joinTable" => "vs_article_has_vs_category", "unique" => true, "exclusive" => true )); } id bigint(20) status varchar(45) artnr varchar(255) title varchar(255) price float img_url varchar(1024) imglarge_url varchar(1024) deeplink varchar(1024) descr text descr_short text gender int(11) created datetime modified datetime vs_make_id int(11) vs_shop_id int(11) original_category varchar(255) original_make varchar(255) class VsArticleHasVsCategory extends AppModel { var $name = 'VsArticleHasVsCategory'; var $useTable = "vs_article_has_vs_category"; } id bigint(20) vs_article_id bigint(20) vs_category_id int(11) vs_shop_id int(11) hash varchar(255) Did you see the mixed up Query? DELETE `VsArticleHasVsCategory` FROM `vs_article_has_vs_category` AS `VsArticleHasVsCategory` WHERE `VsArticle`.`artnr` = '51715236-2-6-3-38-242' AND `VsArticle`.`vs_shop_id` = 141 The whole query makes no sense at all: it is deleting from the Table/ Model "VsArticleHasVsCategory" (which is correct) but is referring to the Table/Model "VsArticle" in the WHERE-statement. And the WHERE-statement corresponds to the first model-find-statement in the function: 'conditions' => array( 'VsArticle.artnr' => $this->data["VsArticle"] ["artnr"], 'VsArticle.vs_shop_id' => $shopId ) Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
