Im using CakePHP Stable: 1.1.18.5850 Note how the column header says "Dealer Brand" but the column data actually displays the "BrandStyle[name]" and vice versa? Not sure why bake screws up here... maybe need to report this back to the CakePHP team.

I use Bake Modelling when I need changing one single model. I think the true issue is, non-destructive baking... I am on the work with that. - The scaffold code generation is enabled when dbdesigner2cake is used with CakePHP 1.2. It enables the -wb (--with-bake) option that generates bake code instead of files with $scaffold variable. - I am not sure what's happened, therefore I cannot blame either dbdesigner2cake or cakephp. I suggest you to upgrade your cakephp and try again. Bye Hi Rob,

The model generation works really well. I love the fact that it does generate the correct CakePHP-specific belongsTo, hasOne, hasMany and hasAndBelongsToMany relationships from the MySQL constraints. a few points: -Too bad I cannot generate 1 single model, it always generates all models for all database tables at once -I still had to use the CakePHP bake utility to generate the (full-) controllers and views since they got scaffolded. This is not too much of a big deal actually. -Somehow my Bake-generated views had the wrong column label. So lets say I have columns labeled person, city, zipcode then the contents of these tables would actually get mixed up like Amsterdam, John, 1234XT (person, name, zipcode) ... Not sure how this is possible. I bever had this with the Bake utility before. Maybe b/c Bake is using the dbdesigner2cake generated model file sto construct the controllers and views?
