My plan is to create a temporary table using the $this->Model->query(); method then load it as a Model but I'm getting an error staying "Missing Database Table". Turning on debug to level two shows that the temporary table is success fully created but for some reason, when I try and load it as a model it doesn't work. It looks like cake doesn't even try to see if the table exists as there is no "SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM ...' query being displayed. Not sure how to force cake to check for its existence.
$tmpModel = 'tempModel';
$tmpTable = 'temp_models';
$this->Model->query('CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `'.$tmpTable ... );
$this->loadModel($tmpModel);
Thanks in advance.
