How to create custom MySQL queries in CakePHP?

Question

I am trying to create my own MySQL queries in Cakephp.

This is my LocationsController.php:

Answer 1

Location Controller should be:

loadModel("Location");
        $this->LocationModel->getLocations(); // I will strongly discourage using get()
    }
}

Location Model should be:

query("SELECT * FROM locations;"); // if table name is `locations`
        return $this->query("SELECT * FROM Location;"); // if table name is `Location` since your public name is `Location`
    }
}
