Re: Scary associations with recursive calls
Yes exactly. I tried the expects() and it works like a charm. When recursive calls get too deep, the replicated queries get really scary. On top of that half the time we will not be using most of the data returned as well. It will be really sweet if there is a way to not just specify the Model required but also the fields required. My main question was with such problems, will you guys prefer to not add any association on the Model itself. But use bindModel in your Model and specify the fields required to retrieve the data. This way, you will not be returned with huge amount of data which you do not actually need. It will be sweet if somehow expects() can accept the keys conditions and fields as well. The another question I was trying to bring up is that in my example, Application belongsTo User and User hasOne Profile. Will you guys actually do things like: bindModel(array( 'belongsTo/hasOne' = array( 'Profile' = array( 'foreignKey' = 'user_id' ) ) ) This will link Application direct to the Profile using the user_id field and thus, cake will then LEFT JOIN the Profile instead of making separate queries. Of course, the no longer forces the actual relationship of the models. What say you? Good or Bad practice?
