No. Each table has a column called location_id. So the value of that column in a row will correspond to a row in the id column of Location. That is how the records in the tables are tied together.

I'm not new to cake but I've never gotten into the associations and I'm a little bit confused: I have several tables: - Projects - Systems - Organizations - Volunteers - Students - Computers - Divisions and - Location Each table will be able to have a location so they all have a "location_id" foreignKey. Since location will belong to all the other tables I would have to do a HABTM association correct? If so, will I have to create all those joinTables? Is there a easier way to do this without creating all those extra tables? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
