Hi Dan, this isn't a major flaw in CakePHP, it's the price you pay for the ease of development. Fortunately Cake allows you very easy access to SQL itself if you need it - although you may end up having to do some more "old school" management of your result set rather than having cake turn everything into handy arrays for you.
It's also possible that you'll be able to get the data you want by turning your find() call around. I think you might look at this as a call on your OrderLineItem model rather than Order, so inside the OrderLineItems Controller you could do this: $this->OrderLineItem->recursive = -1; $orderlineitems = $this->OrderLineItem->find('all',array ('contain'=>array('Order'))); $this->set( compact('orderlineitems') ); (or inside the model by skipping the "->OrderLineItem" bit) That will be fast, and I think won't need any "merging". You said you had simplifed your example so it might not work in which case you really will have to do something like: $this->Order->execute(' some kind of SQL in here ') and manually manage the result set. Hope that helps Pete On Jan 30, 4:47 pm, Dan <grip...@gmail.com> wrote: > No one has feedback on this?
