DMZ (Datamapper) quick query question - El Forum - 07-07-2010

I love the idea of what the Datamapper could do for my projects. I'm trying to get my head around a very basic many-to-many join using the tables students, courses_students and courses.

The code to list all courses for a student that I am using is as follows -

Code:
$s = new Student();

$s->get();

foreach ($s->course->get() as $c) {

    echo $c->name;

}

$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);

My first question was related to what the profiler shows is happening to the DB -

Code:
SELECT * FROM `students` LIMIT 1

Code:
SELECT * FROM (`students`)

Code:
SELECT * FROM `courses` LIMIT 1

Code:
SELECT `courses`.*

FROM (`courses`)

LEFT OUTER JOIN `courses_students` courses_students ON `courses`.`id` = `courses_students`.`course_id`

WHERE `courses_students`.`student_id` = 1

Are all of these SELECT statements meant to be there? Should I be doing something differently?

Sorry for my ignorance! I seem to just be the to many stuff that is giving me grief. Thanks.

This seems to be more like what I want

Code:
$s = new Student($id);

$s->course->select('name');

$s->course->get_iterated();

foreach ($s->course as $c) {

    echo $c->name;

}

but still getting 2 select * limit 1 extra queries?

Code:
SELECT * FROM `students` LIMIT 1 

SELECT *

FROM (`students`)

WHERE `students`.`id` = 1 

SELECT * FROM `courses` LIMIT 1 

SELECT `courses`.`name`

FROM (`courses`)

LEFT OUTER JOIN `courses_students` courses_students ON `courses`.`id` = `courses_students`.`course_id`

WHERE `courses_students`.`student_id` = 1

OK I didn't read around this enough... Sorry for wasting everyone's time!
