I'm just starting to play with CakePHP and I've run into a stumbling
block that exists only because of my pure unfamiliarity with the
framework.

I have an existing database that I'd like to link into using Cake, but
the tables are all prefixed with "pts_".  The table I wish to connect
to is named "pages". When I try to set my prefix in config/database.php
for that connection, my resulting error is "No Database table for model
Page (expected "ptspages")...

Now, I would have expected a prefix value of "pts_" plus "pages" to
equal "pts_pages" instead of "ptspages". What is causing the underscore
to be dropped and how can I fix it?

(I realize as a general practice using an underscore in the table name
is not wise, and I realize I could change the table name, but my goal
is to supplement [for the time being: eventually replace] an existing
software package that wouldn't take too kindly to new table names so
right now all I need is a work around.)

I would appreciate some expert advice.

Thanks!
Brian
