using "like " in find()

[jim murray]

I want to do the equivalent of "select * from employees where EMAIL like 
'A%'
I have been reading the documentation for Model.find() but can't figure it 
out.

A session problem using database(cake-sessions)

[Murray]

I'm planning to use the database session mode in cake 1.3 for load
balance through servers. However, in one of my servers, the session
expires immediately while i write a session value, and the records in
the database is odd and very very long.(The records from other servers
are short). It's something like this:
