Hi there, I'm just starting a new project with Cakephp but I'm stuck with a very basic problem.
I have a "countries" table that looks like this: CREATE TABLE `countries` ( `id` varchar(7) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `description` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; As you can see want to use a VARCHAR as primary key as I want to use a customized country code as primary key (e.g. FR-2013, DE-2010, ES-2010 etc), I also want users to be able to manually insert this code. I know using a non-numeric id is not recommended but I have my reasons. Now, when I create a form to add data (I want users to be able to add new countries), the `id` field is automatically hidden, I could probably come up with a workaround but I was wondering if there a "proper" way to do it. I also have other tables where I have a similar situation.
