Named scope - Get orphan AR without loosing primary key

Content

Sometime, in a many-to-many relation, you need to retrieve AR that aren't linked. In practice, AR with null value in the join table. So you implements a criteria like this :
 
    
 
```php 
public function scopeUnused( $useAnd = true )
{
$join = " left outer join composed_by j on t.ID = j.ID ";
[...]
return $this;
}
``` You face the problem that your AR's pk are empty ?!! It come from the fact that the generated sql query returns by default all columns (select *). To overcome this, you need to explicitly specify the columns of your AR in the select property of the DBCriteria
 
    
 
```php 
public function scopeUnused( $useAnd = true )
{
$join = " left outer join composed_by j on t.ID = j.ID ";
[...]
return $this;
}

 
```
