Re: CakePHP without naming convention. is it possible?

@WebbedIT
its up to 100 tables and still being accesed by that application...in
fact this application is still running..due to the integration issue
with another application which is using PHP as the engine, i need to
re-develop the application into PHP. and i considered to use Cakephp
as the framework since another application was built by this framework
as well.
just for info, the old app was built by java and i don't have an
authority to build a new database..
