Of course.How else do you expect to be able to show that Shift X is at Area Y? If you're running through a foreach loop to list the Shifts, either the Area must be somewhere in the current array iteration or you have to use the current Shift.area_id to look up the Area.name from a general array of Areas. Try writing out the array you would like to get from your find() and I think you'll quickly see that it's unworkable. > If there were 50 areas, it would be better to list 10 of them twice > each than to list all 50 only once... know what i mean?
