Best way to get related data from models in yii and return json

Question

Hi just a question

im working on the rest of the application for the project using sproutcore on the front panel.

My question is really what is the most efficient way to capture data from a model with other related models when you need to return json. Yesterday I read that it is recommended to work with the DAO layer when working with arrays, so for my example this is what I have.

I have a list of customers, each HAS_MANY customer and each HAS_MANY brand. Do not get a beautifully formed array of customers back with their brands that I have

$clients = Yii::app()->db->createCommand('select client.* from client where client.status = 1')->queryAll();

        foreach($clients as $ckey => $client)
        {
            $clients[$ckey] = $client;
            $brand_ids = Yii::app()->db->createCommand('select brand.id as brand_id, brand.client_id as b_client_id from brand where brand.client_id ='.$client['id'])->queryAll();

            foreach($brand_ids as $bkey => $brand_id)
            {
                $clients[$ckey]['brands'][] = $brand_id['brand_id'];
            }

    }

This returns what I want, but is it the most effective way to achieve what they are after?

{    
    //...
    /**
     * @return array relational rules.
     */
    public function relations()
    {
            // NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
            // class name for the relations automatically generated below.
            return array(
                    'brands' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Brand', 'client_id'),
            );
    }
    //...
    public function defaultScope() {
        return array('select'=>'my, columns, to, select, from, client'); //or just comment this to select all "*"
    }

}

class Brand extends CActiveRecord
{
    //...
    /**
     * @return array relational rules.
     */
    public function relations()
    {
            // NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
            // class name for the relations automatically generated below.
            return array(
                    'client' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'Client', 'client_id'),
            );
    }
    //...
    //...
    public function defaultScope() {
        return array('select'=>'my, columns, to, select, from, brand'); //or just comment this to select all "*"
    }

}

$clients = Client::model()->with('brands')->findAllByAttributes(array('status'=>1));

$clientsArr = array();
if($clients) {
    foreach($clients as $client) {
        $clientsArr[$client->id]['name'] = $client->name; //assign only some columns not entire $client object.
        $clientsArr[$client->id]['brands'] = array();

        if($client->brands) {
            foreach($client->brands as $brand) {
                $clientsArr[$client->id]['brands'][] = $brand->id;
            }
        }

    }
}

print_r($clientsArr);
/*

    [1] => Array (
        name => Client_A,
        brands => Array (
            0 => Brand_A,
            1 => Brand_B,
            2 => Brand_C
        )

CActiveRecord, with() , SQL-, brand.

$rows = Yii::app()->db
    ->createCommand(
        'SELECT c.*, b.id as brand_id 
        FROM client c INNER JOIN brand b 
        WHERE c.status = 1 AND b.client_id = c.id')
    ->queryAll();
$clients = array();
foreach ($rows as row) {
    if (!isset($clients[$row['id']])) {
        $clients[$row['id']] = $row;
        $clients[$row['id']]['brands'] = array();
    }
    $clients[$row['id']]['brands'][] = $row['brand_id'];
