Re: Does every model really need a "name" field? --psybear

var $name = 'ClassName'; is only needed for PHP 4.

and 

var $useTable; is only needed if your class name does not match the singular version of table name.

You don't need that in the DB, what you need is in the model... 

class Job extends AppModel {

var $name = 'Job';

var $useTable = 'jobs';

.....

They can or can't match, as you wish...

Is this what you mean??

Hi everybody

A collegue told me some time ago, that every CakePHP model needs a
"name" field in the database. However, he couldn't really tell me
why's that, and I don't really find too much information about that.
So maybe this isn't true (anymore)?

Or if it's really the case, then what do you guys do, when you really
don't want/need a name for a specific model? Invent some imaginary
name field?

Thanks
Josh
