I read it in the docs and used it without issues in the sails-memory implementation. It feels very weird to switch to a relational adapter and have this relational feature missing.\r\n\r\nSo basically `.populate()` only makes sense if you want the whole thing, right? Do I have other options than making manual nested find calls if I don't want the whole db object?"}}
