Yeah I have all that setup and everything works except telling Cake where to look for the table. It never finds the table in my default config for that 1 model. If I move the tables to resources DB (where I do not want it) it works. Move it to default_db and tell the model to look in default $useDBconfig I get missing table. So just a little stumped.

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)); HTH -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
