Hey all,

Trying to use GROUP by in containable behaviour and it's not working as
expected.

Ratings model has fields: *Rating.id, Rating.restaurant_id, Rating.rating
(1-5)*

I have a query (which amongst other things) fetches the average + total
ratings for a restaurant:

$restaurant = $this->Restaurant->find('first', array(
    'fields' => array(Restaurant.x, Restaurant.y, Restaurant.z),
    'contain' => array(
        'model1' => array(x, y, z),
*        'Rating' => array(*
*          'fields' => array(*
*            'AVG(Rating.rating)',*
*            'COUNT(Rating.id)'*
*          )*
*        ),*
        'model2' => ...
    )
));

It works fine on my mysql version 5.0 on my dev server but as soon as I
upload it onto live site mysql 4.1 I get error saying I *cannot mix group
columns (avg, sum, etc) is illegal without a GROUPBY field.*

So ok fair play, I'm not including a groupby field. I jumped in and added
one:

$restaurants = $this->Restaurant->find('all', array(
    'fields' => array(Restaurant.x, Restaurant.y, Restaurant.z),
    'contain' => array(
        'model1' => array(x, y, z),
*        'Rating' => array(*
*          'fields' => array(*
*            'AVG(Rating.rating)',*
*            'COUNT(Rating.id)'*
*          ),*
*          'group' => 'Restaurant.id'       // I also tried 'group' => 'id'*
*        ),*
        'model2' => ...
    )
));



Which I would figure works but it doesn't. I get an error saying that *there
is no column called 'group'* and it is trying to execute this query:

SELECT `Rating`.`restaurant_id`, AVG(`Rating`.`rating`),
COUNT(`Rating`.`id`), `Rating`.`group` FROM `ratings` AS `Rating` WHERE
`Rating`.`restaurant_id` = (5)

Am I using containable incorrectly?
