then you'd achieve the same thing |

yep, that's the idea, a many have many. For example, my ObjectA has 3 versions, I link it with tags (using the slug, so my tags are linked to all the object versions), so if I delete the last version of my object, the versions 1 and 2 of my object don't lose the link to the tags |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:23 |

one thing you could do is post/preprocess records from slugs to records if you really want |

hmmm |

in this case i don't think joindata makes sense |

many have many |

Sep 12th 2019, 14:20 |

i mean |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:20 |
ricksaccous |
but using both pks you could still say one has many, but i suppose you want to relate them to subsets |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:20 |
ricksaccous |
maybe i'm missing something |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:19 |
ricksaccous |
that seems unecessary |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:15 |

And so, the versions share the same Tags (which is the purpose of my join table) |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:15 |
jbcharron |
Actually, no :( this is a model containing many versions of the same business object, the versions 1 to N share the same slug |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:09 |
ricksaccous |
are slugs not unique? |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:09 |

how is it a hasMany to TableB |

too. Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face: |

`link()` function works well, but the `unlink()` gets nothing in the `_joinData` property, and try to unlink using my `TableB` primary key value in my join table foreign key field, which is not linked to the primary key of TableB. I don't know if I explained this issue in a clear way, but I don't understand why the link() works and not the unlink(). They don't follow the exact same process, but I expect that if one works, the other one should work |

Hi there, I am struggling with `unlink()` in a `belongsToMany` association. I have a join table using `TableA_id` and `TableB_slug` as foreign keys to `TableA` and `TableB`, where `TableA.id` is a primary key, and `TableB.slug` is not. So basically my join table is linked to `TableA` with a `belongsTo`, and `TableB` with `hasMany`. TableA and TableB are linked to each other with `belongsToMany` through my join table. My issue is that the |

by "db table" i meant your actual database table where you can set column defaults |

where in the table? is there some callback on new entity? |

1st option is enough for me, thanks again :slightly_smiling_face: |

I personally prefer the first option as you can cleary see how many levels deep you go. With the third option you can add more limitations |
# |
Sep 12th 2019, 12:00 |

I prefer the first one you mentioned, maybe the 2nd one is better for readability though ? :slightly_smiling_face: |

There are 2 other ways as well. `'Contracts.Users', 'Contracts.Sources'` Or `'contain' => ['Contracts' => function (Query $q) { return $q->contain(['Users]); } |

works perfectly, thanks @conehead. |

But each of my contracts contain a User and a Source, how do I "nest" contains ? |

But this doesn't have to mean that the config is not overridden somewhere else (although it shouldn't). And it depends on the plugin if it has a db config |

I would go through this tutorial if I were you: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/cms/installation.html |

https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/database-basics.html is what you are looking for |

at least imo that is the most common usecase, however you can connect multiple if you want to |
