Doctrine, How can I do a select * (all) statememt? - sql

Question

I'm trying to mimic this sql query:
$sql = "SELECT *, log.id as logid, date_format(shipdate,'%m/%d/%Y') as shipdate
FROM log LEFT JOIN sub ON sub.id = sub_id
LEFT JOIN main ON id = main_id WHERE
shipdate >= '$datestart' AND shipdate <= '$dateend' ";
When I put SELECT * in the createQuery function of Doctrine, an error says it doesn't recognize that statement so I tried to grab all the entities by selecting individual ones:
$query = $this->getEntityManager()
->createQuery('
SELECT
m.dano, m.partno, m.batchno,
s.rackno, s.heatcode, s.diecode,
l.shipdate, l.qtyshipped, l.blno, l.id as logid
FROM
Bundle:Sub s
JOIN
s.main m
JOIN
s.log l
WHERE
l.shipdate >= :fromdate and l.shipdate <= :todate
')->setParameter('fromdate', $fromdate)
->setParameter('todate', $todate);
However when I do it this way, it doesn't return all the data that the original queries does. It skips some rows. Is there another way to be selecting all the entity?

You can mimic the following SQL using DQL. I believe that's the best way to do rather than using create query. Select all in DQL is 'select(alias)'. See my
SELECT *, log.id as logid, date_format(shipdate,'%m/%d/%Y') as shipdate
FROM log LEFT JOIN sub ON sub.id = sub_id
LEFT JOIN main ON id = main_id WHERE
shipdate >= '$datestart' AND shipdate <= '$dateend'
DQL
$dql = $qb2->select('m.dano, m.partno, m.batchno,
s.rackno, s.heatcode, s.diecode,
l.shipdate, l.qtyshipped, l.blno, l.id')
->from('YourBundle:Log','l')
->leftJoin('l.sub', 's', Expr\Join::ON, 's.id = l.sub_id')
->leftJoin('l.main', 'm', Expr\Join::ON, 'm.id = l.main_id')
->where('l.shipdate >= :shipdateStart')
->setParameter('shipdateStart', $datestart)
->where('l.shipdate <= :shipdateEnd')
->setParameter('shipdateEnd', $dateend)
By the way your selecting table and joining tables are slightly different in the given sql example compared to your query in create query function. I mimiced what's in your raw SQL which is listed above. Hope this helps you to understand converting SQL in to DQL.
