Question

This used to work:

$this->Model->find('all', array(
  'fields' => 'Model.field/100 as name')

but I now get a SQL error because the fields are encapsulated with field inverted commas:

SELECT `Model.field/100 as name` FROM models AS Model ..

which should be

SELECT Model.field/100 as name FROM models AS Model ..

I recently installed a newer version of Cakephp 1.3.6 to 1.3.13 but the manuals don’t mention any changes.

This is a very annoying and unncessary problem, does anybody have any ideas?

Answer 1

Ok, found a clue, but still don’t know why:

Cakephp wants the expression to be in parentheses, so

    'fields' => array('Model.field/100 as name')  

doesn’t work, but

    'fields' => array('(Model.field/100) as name')  

does.
