title: cakePHP accessing table without model
body: <p>I have to modify an existing project, coded in cakephp. I am not much aware of cakephp.
  I need to access tables in database, without using model. The existing code is as below:</p>
  
  <p>There are two tables  'users' and 'videos'. In one of the controller following code is used to access table.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public $uses = array('User','Video');
  
  $data = $this-&gt;User-&gt;findByPhone($phone);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My doubt is how does the control identify 'User' as an object pointed to 'users' table ? 
  Please help..</p>
