I have a table, 'userDetails' and another table 'accountUsage'. The first stores emails, passwords etc. the other login dates, creation dates etc.

They both have a field called 'id' which links the two rows together for 1 person.

In cake i have a model called 'User' which handles logging in/out, registration...   

Can i link the two tables inside the user model so i can access and update them both simultaneously or do I have to use a join every time?

Thanks
