There are many tables I use which come from other systems/are static dumps of tables out of systems i need to use as reference data but don't want to muck up the table definitions etc - and I routinely tell cake "this is this, that is that"...and all is good....
Its just something that needs to be dealt with carefully - if you have hundreds of tables and nothing else depends on them, and you have the time/budget to do it, it may be worth altering the tables to be more cake friendly....but if not, just configure your models and document everything carefully so the next developer who has to come along knows what it is you've done to make it work.

to be honest,i don't really want this happen.but what am i supposed to
do?i cant build new database since the current database have lots of
datas inside. after i read ur reply i started to think like that as
well.my work will be hard later. i have to define lots of things on
the model and i don't have an idea about the unpreddicted issues which
will follow later.
do you have any idea to solve this problem?
