Thank you for the answer, Jeremy!

Does every model need a name field? Why?
Hi all I'm just digging into CakePHP and continue an application of my previous co-worker. He told me that every model needs a name field in the database. Why's that?

Re: Does every model need a name field? Why?
perhaps he meant a name variable, as shown in the following example:
1. ?php
2. class Ingredient extends AppModel {
3. var $name = 'Ingredient';
4. }
5. ?

Not strictly accurate - you do not need to have either a name or title field in your table, but they have their uses. Cake can use a 'name' or 'title' field to automatically populate lists and such. Having said that, you can override it with var $displayField in your model. See: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1014/Titles for more info. I prefer to stick to a name field as Cake drives convention.
