Do I need some more work, to get a select box with the corresponding data (e.g. land list from an another db-table) in the created insert form (via CRUD) or it is enough to define the relations in the models and yii would do this for me automatically?

Since you haven't provided any code, let me show you with an example. Suppose we have a user table and a group table and need to select a group for a user which is selected with a select box.

In the user model you can have a function like 

public function getGroupName()
    {
        return CHtml::listData(Group::model()->findAll();
    }

In the form view of user create you can populate the select box like below:

<?php echo $form->dropDownListRow($User, 'group_id', $User->getGroupName(),array('prompt' => 'Select ...')); ?>
