If each release has not more than 5 styles, then its fine to use this one. However, I would personally recommend 'hasAndBelongsToMany' since it will provide flexibility to my system in case I decide to have 6 or more 'styles' later.
this is a bit OT, but wouldn't 'genre' be a more suitable name than 'style' ? and yes you want a HABTM association: Release belongsTo Artist Artist hasMany Release Release hasAndBelongsToMany Genre Genre hasAndBelongsToMany Release you can then find releaes by Artist or Genre. hth jon -- jon bennett t: +44 (0) 1225 341 039 w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
