    <p>I am working with CakePHP 1.3 version for search functionality using Search Plugin.</p> <p>I have three models:</p> <ul> <li>Demo,</li> <li>Country</li> <li>State</li> </ul> <p><code>Demo</code> has two foreign keys, <code>country_id</code> and <code>state_id</code>. <code>State</code> has the foreign key <code>country_id</code>.</p> <p>What I am doing is, I have search form which have country &amp; state drop down which fetch all data from countries &amp; states table. When i search any of country from dropdown &amp; submit the form it will show me below error. If i search using only state dropdown i get the correct result.</p> <p>When I execute the search query, I get the error</p> <blockquote> <p>'Column '<code>country_id</code>' in where clause is ambiguous'</p> </blockquote> <p>My query is:</p> <pre><code>SELECT `Demo`.`id`, `Demo`.`demo2`, `Demo`.`desc`, `Demo`.`subject`, `Demo`.`gender`, `Demo`.`country_id`, `Demo`.`state_id`, `Demo`.`image_url`, `Country`.`id`, `Country`.`name`, `State`.`id`, `State`.`country_id`, `State`.`description` FROM `demos` AS `Demo` LEFT JOIN `countries` AS `Country` ON (`Demo`.`country_id` = `Country`.`id`) LEFT JOIN `states` AS `State` ON (`Demo`.`state_id` = `State`.`id`) WHERE `country_id` = 2 </code></pre> <p>Model relationships in Demo table:</p> <pre><code>var $belongsTo = array( 'Country' =&gt; array( 'className' =&gt; 'Country', 'foreignKey' =&gt; 'country_id', 'conditions' =&gt; '', 'fields' =&gt; '', 'order' =&gt; '' ), 'State' =&gt; array( 'className' =&gt; 'State', 'foreignKey' =&gt; 'state_id', 'conditions' =&gt; '', 'fields' =&gt; '', 'order' =&gt; '' ), ); </code></pre> <p>The controller query to fetch all Country in dropdown is:</p> <blockquote> <p>$country=$this->Country->find('list'); //just display the list of country in dropdown</p> </blockquote> <p>The query search the data from all fields except <code>Country</code> (<code>country_id</code>), because it will not know which <code>country_id</code> it is looking for from table <code>Demo</code> or table <code>State</code>. I need the <code>country_id</code> from the demo table to get the correct result.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
