'-!' is a flag to cake to not interpret the conditions, just put them
as they are. If's useful for handling database functions, expressions
and whatnot, so I thought it would be appropriate. Although it doesn't
seem to be, I think it only works on a right-hand assignment (like
'field' => '-!expression').
Still, it seems to be far easier than that. Using this query:
$data = $this->Person->find('all', array('conditions' => array(
'SUBSTRING(Person.name, 1, 1)=\'J\''
)));
I get this SQL:
SELECT `Person`.`id`, `Person`.`name`, **snip** FROM `people` AS
`Person` WHERE SUBSTRING(`Person`.`name`, 1, 1)='J'
Which is perfect.
I also think that the following query would be optimized better (but
have the same result);
$data = $this->Person->find('all', array('conditions' => array(
'Person.name' => 'LIKE J%'
)));
SQL : SELECT `Person`.`id`, `Person`.`name`, **snip** FROM `people` AS
`Person` WHERE `Person`.`name` LIKE 'J%'
Hope this helps
