SO how do I select a particular field in the table. Like with your example, I only want to select the body from the POST table without the other fields.
Am all new to cakePHP and little bit confused. Please help me

@Nathan:

something like this would work even on an empty table:

function index(){
$this->set(‘fields’,Set::extract(‘/COLUMNS/Field’,$this->Unit->query(“DESCRIBE {$this->Unit->useTable}”)));
}

I presume this would require entries in the database to work? What about if the table was empty?
