Hello there..


what i am trying to do, is to consider a new column in my model, a column that do not exist in the database, and will not be created.

imagine, for instance, this case:

I have a table that store a number and a string, lets call it 'words'

--------------------
words
--------------------
int times(PK)
char name
--------------------

imagine Word as an instance of the model, i will have access to these:
Word.times
Word.name

what if i wanted a new column, some like
Word.complete

imagine that this column would store that 'char' for many times as is defined int the 'times' column...
like this

Word.times = 3
Word.name = a
Word.complete = aaa

got it?

i wont store that data, but generate it based on the data that is stored.

any idea????

did any of you guys see this situation before???
