RE: Model Q: HABTM association the right way to go?

No. Each table has a column called location_id. So the value of that column
in a row will correspond to a row in the id column of Location. That is how
the records in the tables are tied together.

Subject: Model Q: HABTM association the right way to go?

I'm not new to cake but I've never gotten into the associations and I'm a
little bit confused:

I have several tables:
- Projects
- Systems
- Organizations
- Volunteers
- Students
- Computers
- Divisions

and
- Location

Each table will be able to have a location so they all have a "location_id"
foreignKey.

Since location will belong to all the other tables I would have to do a
HABTM association correct?

If so, will I have to create all those joinTables?

Is there a easier way to do this without creating all those extra tables?
