Re: Query using LEFT()
Siegfried:
I was using 1.2.0.7962 but I just downloaded the latest version.
I dont think its a problem with the query itself because I dont get
any SQL error messages. I think it is how its being reference in the
view. How would you reference the return p10 in your view? I keep
getting Undefined index: body when using $post['Post']['body'].
Thanks for the help!

Re: Query using LEFT()
Hello gkc,
I have just tried the following in my app:
$vendors = $this->find('all',
array('conditions'=>array('vendor_id >' => 0),
'contain'=>array('Vendor.shortname'),
'fields'=>array('left(Item.product,10) as p10, COUNT(*) as count'), //
'Item.vendor_id,
'group'=>array('Item.vendor_id'),
'order'=>array('COUNT(*) desc'),
//'recursive'=>-1,
)
);
This works like a charm for me.
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[p10] => 6ES5721-0C
[count] => 3173
)
[Vendor] => Array
(
[shortname] => XYZ
[id] => 377
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[p10] => POG90 2048
[count] => 404
)
[Vendor] => Array
(
[shortname] => Tha
[id] => 35
)
)
Which version of cake are you using ?

Re: Query using LEFT()
Alfredo,
Thank you for finally responding. I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS
I am not trying specify the return limit, I am trying to limit the
amount of characters returned from a field. Say a field contains 500
characters, I only want the first 10.
I am having this problem with any SQL operators, like LEFT() and
DATE_FORMAT().
Following the example given in the documentation (http://
book.cakephp.org/view/449/find) I am writing this:
$this->Post->find('all',array('LEFT(Post.body,200) AS post_body'))
I have also tried this:
$this->Post->find('all',array('LEFT(Post.body,200) AS body'))
In my view I have this $post['Post']['body'] but I keep getting the
error Undefined index: body
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Query using LEFT()
gkc:
If I understood your question correctly what you want is something like this???
$aResult = $this->Model->find('all', array('limit' => 200));
or something along those lines, specifying the field that you want, or
the ones that you would like excluded.

Alfredo

Re: Query using LEFT()
This is according to the documentation:
=
If you need to use SQL operators such as in (MySQL) DISTINCT, MAX,
MIN, etc... you can specify it as part of the 'fields' key, as such:
$this->Product->find('all', array('fields'=>'DISTINCT
(Product.name) AS product_name'));
=
But that is not working for me. I would rather limit in the query
than passing it to PHP. If thats my only option, then I will oblige
but there has got to be a way to do this.

Re: Query using LEFT()
2 ways about it.
One, switch on debug=1 (atleast) in core.php. This should give you
the query and some indication on how to fix it.
Two, if the idea is to limit the amount of characters displayed in the
view, then handle it in the index.ctp like this
echo "".(strlen($data['records'][$i][$field["table"]][$field
["title"]]) > 25?substr($data['records'][$i][$field["table"]][$field
["title"]],0,22)."...":$data['records'][$i][$field["table"]][$field
["title"]] )." ";
