Hi everyone,

I'm currently creating a table called "Foods_Ingredients", here is the
sql:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `foods_ingredients` (
`food_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`ingredient_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY (`food_id`,`ingredient_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB

------------------------------
The problem now  is I find this table has to have composite primary
key. Cake currently doesn't support composite, I'm not sure what is
the workaround for this.

1. Do I change to UNIQUE KEY ? I went briefly with the cookbook,
finding it hard to understand, can anyone suggest a solution for
this ?

2. Do I just add a field `id` into it ?--so it becomes the PK? Adding
this seems a bit odd.
--------------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `foods_ingredients` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`food_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`ingredient_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `food_id_ingredient_id` (`food_id`,`ingredient_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB
------------------------------------

What is the suggested solution for this ? from veterans/experienced
Cake users.
