hasMany relation without table having id column - mysql

Question

I am using CakePHP 2.5. I am having following table
CompanyMaster:
company_master_id [PK]
Name and other columns
CompanySignatoryDetails: (has many owners for single company)
company_signatory_details_id [PK]
company_master_id [FK]
Name and other columns
Now, I want to get company details with all owners of that company. Here is what I have tried.
$this->CompanyMaster->bindModel(
array(
'hasMany' => array(
'CompanySignatoryDetails' => array(
'className' => 'CompanySignatoryDetails',
'foreignKey' => false,
'conditions' => array(
'CompanySignatoryDetails.company_master_id = CompanyMaster.company_master_id'
),
),
)
)
);
$this->CompanyMaster->recursive = 2;
$company = $this->CompanyMaster->find('first', array(
'fields' => array('CompanyMaster.*'),
'conditions' => $conditions, //company id in condition
));
I am getting following error:
Database Error
Error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'CompanyMaster.id' in 'field list'
SQL Query:
SELECT `CompanyMaster`.*, `CompanyMaster`.`id` FROM `crawler_output`.`company_master` AS `CompanyMaster` WHERE `CompanyMaster`.`company_master_id` = 1 LIMIT 1
Please let me know how can I bind model without id as column name.

Answer 1

CakePHP will produce a separate query when dealing with hasMany relationships, and therefore you won't be able to reference a field from another table. Only belongsTo and hasOne relationships produce a JOIN.
However, you don't need to add conditions to the relationship. The following should just work fine:
$this->CompanyMaster->bindModel(array(
'hasMany' => array(
'CompanySignatoryDetails' => array(
'className' => 'CompanySignatoryDetails',
'foreignKey' => 'company_master_id',
),
)
));
Don't forget to define your primary keys for CompanyMaster:
class CompanyMaster extends AppModel
{
public $primaryKey = 'company_master_id';
}
and for CompanySignatoryDetails:
class CompanySignatoryDetails extends AppModel
{
public $primaryKey = 'company_signatory_details_id';
}

Answer 2

Well, for instance, let your query looks like this:
select CompanyMaster.*,CompanySignatoryDetails.* from
CompanyMaster as cm inner join CompanySignatoryDetails as cd on
cm.company_master_id=cd.company_master_id
order by cm.company_master_id;
You will get all fields from two tables, ordered by company_master_id field. You may reduce number of fields, displayed by this query, by explicitly designate them like this:
select cm.company_master_id, cd.name from....
