1. @Adam don’t put any thing that smell like sql outside your model, among other reasons see point 2 .
2. @ajmacaro stored procedure is the best performance choice so it’s better to invest in the performance area being a 24/7 issue then investing in the ability to change database, which probably will not happen.
If you keep all your sql related syntax in the Model you can be sure to touch only your model files in case of migrating to new database type.

Ture. It is database specific. If I was to change from MySQL to something else I would no doubt have to spend time figuring out how to change it over.

Of course, at this stage I’m more than happy making it work with MySQL, so the problem is nulified.

@Derick Ng - Cheers. It's an honour to be on such a feed. @Adam - If by calling 'them directly on the Model' you mean calling them from the Controller, then yes, you are correct. You can do that. It looks like that is the case on book.cakephp.org : Query It would look like this: $advert= $this->Advert->query('CALL display_ad("'.$site.'");'); But I do subscribe to the fat model skinny controller thing - as pointed out by cakebaker. That being said I also like to keep the database transactions in the Model, and leave to Controller to do what it does.

Although I personally don’t use stored procedures, I was under the impression you could call them directly on the model, and cake would execute them automatically.

So instead of this:

$this->Advert->findAd($site);

you would do:

$this->Advert->display_ad($site);
