Re: ? how to join models other than through id ?
> /me awaits the revelation that modelB.field isn't a primary key true. i tried to point out, that modelB.field is not primary or unique. its a value many modelB can share. so its not a n2m relationship but a m2m. modelA has many modelB and vice versa. their relationship is defined through the value of the field in modelB, which lots of modelB can share. i think in sql i would give an inner join a try but i try to avoid writing my query and try to generalize the relationship in the models itself, trying to use cake's infrastructure. \n --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

? how to join models other than through id ?
hey everybody. i am kind of lost, with how cake wants me to deal with my problem. may be anybody here has some hints or suggestions for me? i want to associate two models through a different field than 'id'. i also want to have this relationship defined in the model itself, of course. the easiest way to describe the relationship would be like this: belongsTo/hasMany: modelA.modelB_field = modelB.field. where modelA belongsTo many modelB and modelB also has many modelA. but i dont think an extra join table is necassary but a simple join query would be enough in sql. thanx for the brainpower. \n --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
