Let’s not forget that $this->Model->deleteAll(’1 = 1′, false); will only delete the records from the table. You would still have the auto increment option set.

To sucessfully truncate a table you can $this->ModelName->query(“TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;”);

Hey, The above condition works, thanks for the tip.
One more thing I want point out that same condition can be treated as SQL injection.

The “deleteAll” requires a condition as first parameter. So your example to truncate a table should be something like this:

$this->Model->deleteAll(’1 = 1′, false);

Personally I think it would make sense if the cake team would implement an additional “truncate” method.
