Do I need to create a "students_teachers" table? You could add 2 columns to your users table, model & foreign_key. The students & teachers tables can also have a user_id column to associate back the other way. > 2) Create three tables, "students", "teachers", and a > "students_teachers" table. Yes, do that as well.

should teacher and student stay together???
Hi all, A very basic question, I naively believe that there's no dumb question... I'm creating a database, and the users are categorized into teachers and students, obviously, one student has and belongs to many teachers and vice versa, so there is a HABTM relationship between students and teachers. So in cake, which is the better approach? 1) Put them in the "users" table and use a field to distinguish students and teachers, but how do I describe the HABTM relationship between them? Do I need to create a "students_teachers" table? 2) Create three tables, "students", "teachers", and a "students_teachers" table. Any help really appreciated!!! -- 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.
