Cake History Table Searching

Hi,

I've been searching for a simple solution to this for a few days, but
no joy. Any help appreciated.

I have two database tables. A job and a job state. The job state is an
historic table, where the most recently created row (with id) is
linked to the job. The association in cake looks like this:-

var $hasMany = array (
'JobStatus' => array (
'className' => 'JobStatus',
'foreignKey' => 'job_id',
'dependent' => false,
'order' => 'JobStatus.created desc',
'limit' => '1',
);

This works fine for retrieval, but searching is proving very
difficult. Using find with containable creates too many queries.

I am currently using:-

$this->query("SELECT * FROM jobs AS j, job_statuses AS js WHERE
js.created = (
SELECT MAX( created )
FROM job_statuses jss
WHERE jss.job_id = j.id )
AND j.id = js.job_id
AND js.stage_code_id = '91'")

But there must be a better way, for this relatively common database
pattern.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks
