I have a site with 2 databases (same server)
1.Being resources_db (data that never changes, Country, States,
various selects and options to select from throughout the site)
2.default_db users, profiles, things that can be changed, edited by users.
Now join tables happen to cross between resources_db and default_db
where does the join tables go in these situations? How do you tell
Cake where to look?
Hi Dave,
I use something similar in one of my apps. Here are some snippets from
my code, slightly adapted to your example.
app/config/database.php
class DATABASE_CONFIG {
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'host',
'login' => 'user',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'default_db',
'prefix' => '',
);
....
var $resource = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'host',
'login' => 'user',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'resources_db',
'prefix' => '',
);
....
}
app/models/user.php
class User extends AppModel {
......
public $belongsTo = array(
'Country' => array(
'className' => 'Country',
'foreignKey' => 'country_id',
),
);
....
}
app/models/country.php
class Country extends AppModel {
public $useDbConfig = 'resource';
....
public $hasMany = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'country_id',
....
)
);
....
}
With this setup I can do something like:
$this->User->find('random', array('contain' => array('Country'), 'limit'
=> 10));
