Hello i try generate a query in Zend 2 just like this
select top 10 * from mensaje where idUsuario = 11 order by fechaAltaMensaje DESC
i try use this
$select = $sql->select();
$select->from('mensaje');
$select->where('idUsuario = '.$idUser.' order by fechaAltaMensaje DESC');
$select->limit(5);
but don't work
You are missing some details in your code in order for it to work,
please see below.
$adapter = $this->tableGateway->getAdapter();//use Zend\Db\TableGateway\TableGateway;
$sql = new Sql($adapter);//use Zend\Db\Sql\Sql;
$select = $sql->select();
$select->from('mensaje');
$select->where('idUsuario = '.$idUser.'');
$select->order('fechaAltaMensaje DESC');
$select->limit(5);
$selectString = $sql->getSqlStringForSqlObject($select);//print_r($selectString);die; //gives you the query in string
$results = $adapter->query($selectString, $adapter::QUERY_MODE_EXECUTE);
$resultSet = new ResultSet();//use Zend\Db\ResultSet\ResultSet;
$resultSet->initialize($results);
return $resultSet->toArray();//the result to array
Please read the tutorials below and you will get the full picture

The limit function only applies to platforms that support it. To achieve what you're after in SQL you need to use the quantifier function.
Also - where accepts an array of column => value pairs.
And there is an order function that accepts a column name and direction:
$select = $sql->select();
$select->from('mensaje')
->where(['idUsuario' => $idUser])
->order('fechaAltaMensaje DESC')
->quantifier('TOP(5)')
I am not pleased with Zends implementation of the sql abstraction layer, when you need to use two different functions to write SQL that is not cross platform to do simple things like limit or top. That's just my two pence.

I've created a quiz and I record in DB if people answered right to all question and the time they take to finish the quiz.
I'm trying to create a querybuilder to retrieve the guy who answered correct to the maximum of questions with the minimum of time.
My table looks like this :
So, the request (which works) I did in SQL in the DB is :
SELECT
id
FROM
public.user_quizz
WHERE
quizz_id = 4
AND
number_correct_answers IN (SELECT max(number_correct_answers) FROM user_quizz WHERE quizz_id = 4)
AND
answered_in IN (SELECT min(answered_in) FROM user_quizz WHERE quizz_id = 4);
Of course, I don't know if it's the best (and the most optimal) request we could do in this case, but it works.
Now, I'm trying to translate this query into querybuilder.
I'm blocked on the IN expression. I don't know how I could do the SELECT here.
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('u');
$query = $qb->select('u')
->andWhere(
$qb->expr()->eq('u.quizz', ':quizzId'),
$qb->expr()->in(
'u.numberCorrectAnswers',
)
)
->setParameter('quizzId', $quizz->getId())
->getQuery()
;
Thanks for your help.
$qbSelectMax = $this->createQueryBuilder('uc') // user copy, to prevent alias collisions
$qbSelectMax
->select($qb->expr()->max('uc.numberCorrectAnswers'))
->where($qb->expr()->eq('uc.quizz', ':quizzId'));
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('u')
$query = $qb->select('u')
->andWhere(
$qb->expr()->eq('u.quizz', ':quizzId'),
$qb->expr()->in(
'u.numberCorrectAnswers',
$qbSelectMax->getDQL()
)
)
->setParameter('quizzId', $quizz->getId())
->getQuery();
You can create sub DQL query to select max numberCorrectAnswers first and then pass DQL right into in parameter
ORDER BY could be used to sort by number of answers and less time taken:
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('u')
->orderBy('u.numberCorrectAnswers', 'DESC')
->addOrderBy('u.answeredIn', 'ASC');
I'd like to get value by the following SQL using Eloquent ORM.
- SQL
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM
(SELECT * FROM abc GROUP BY col1) AS a;
Then I considered the following.
- Code
$sql = Abc::from('abc AS a')->groupBy('col1')->toSql();
$num = Abc::from(\DB::raw($sql))->count();
print $num;
I'm looking for a better solution.
Please tell me simplest solution.
In addition to #delmadord's answer and your comments:
Currently there is no method to create subquery in FROM clause, so you need to manually use raw statement, then, if necessary, you will merge all the bindings:
$sub = Abc::where(..)->groupBy(..); // Eloquent Builder instance
$count = DB::table( DB::raw("({$sub->toSql()}) as sub") )
->mergeBindings($sub->getQuery()) // you need to get underlying Query Builder
->count();
Mind that you need to merge bindings in correct order. If you have other bound clauses, you must put them after mergeBindings:
$count = DB::table( DB::raw("({$sub->toSql()}) as sub") )
// ->where(..) wrong
->mergeBindings($sub->getQuery()) // you need to get underlying Query Builder
// ->where(..) correct
->count();
Laravel v5.6.12 (2018-03-14) added fromSub() and fromRaw() methods to query builder (#23476).
The accepted answer is correct but can be simplified into:
DB::query()->fromSub(function ($query) {
$query->from('abc')->groupBy('col1');
}, 'a')->count();
The above snippet produces the following SQL:
select count(*) as aggregate from (select * from `abc` group by `col1`) as `a`
The solution of #JarekTkaczyk it is exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I miss is how to do it when you are using
DB::table() queries. In this case, this is how I do it:
$other = DB::table( DB::raw("({$sub->toSql()}) as sub") )->select(
'something',
DB::raw('sum( qty ) as qty'),
'foo',
'bar'
);
$other->mergeBindings( $sub );
$other->groupBy('something');
$other->groupBy('foo');
$other->groupBy('bar');
print $other->toSql();
$other->get();
Special atention how to make the mergeBindings without using the getQuery() method
From laravel 5.5 there is a dedicated method for subqueries and you can use it like this:
Abc::selectSub(function($q) {
$q->select('*')->groupBy('col1');
}, 'a')->count('a.*');
or
Abc::selectSub(Abc::select('*')->groupBy('col1'), 'a')->count('a.*');
There are many readable ways to do these kinds of queries at the moment (Laravel 8).
// option 1: DB::table(Closure, alias) for subquery
$count = DB::table(function ($sub) {
$sub->from('abc')
->groupBy('col1');
}, 'a')
->count();
// option 2: DB::table(Builder, alias) for subquery
$sub = DB::table('abc')->groupBy('col1');
$count = DB::table($sub, 'a')->count();
// option 3: DB::query()->from(Closure, alias)
$count = DB::query()
->from(function ($sub) {
$sub->from('abc')
->groupBy('col1')
}, 'a')
->count();
// option 4: DB::query()->from(Builder, alias)
$sub = DB::table('abc')->groupBy('col1');
$count = DB::query()->from($sub, 'a')->count();
For such small subqueries, you could even try fitting them in a single line with PHP 7.4's short closures but this approach can be harder to mantain.
$count = DB::table(fn($sub) => $sub->from('abc')->groupBy('col1'), 'a')->count();
Note that I'm using count() instead of explicitly writing the count(*) statement and using get() or first() for the results (which you can easily do by replacing count() with selectRaw(count(*))->first()).
The reason for this is simple: It returns the number instead of an object with an awkwardly named property (count(*) unless you used an alias in the query)
Which looks better?
// using count() in the builder
echo $count;
// using selectRaw('count(*)')->first() in the builder
echo $count->{'count(*)'};
Correct way described in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52772444/2519714
Most popular answer at current moment is not totally correct.
This way https://stackoverflow.com/a/24838367/2519714 is not correct in some cases like: sub select has where bindings, then joining table to sub select, then other wheres added to all query. For example query:
select * from (select * from t1 where col1 = ?) join t2 on col1 = col2 and col3 = ? where t2.col4 = ?
To make this query you will write code like:
$subQuery = DB::query()->from('t1')->where('t1.col1', 'val1');
$query = DB::query()->from(DB::raw('('. $subQuery->toSql() . ') AS subquery'))
->mergeBindings($subQuery->getBindings());
$query->join('t2', function(JoinClause $join) {
$join->on('subquery.col1', 't2.col2');
$join->where('t2.col3', 'val3');
})->where('t2.col4', 'val4');
During executing this query, his method $query->getBindings() will return bindings in incorrect order like ['val3', 'val1', 'val4'] in this case instead correct ['val1', 'val3', 'val4'] for raw sql described above.
One more time correct way to do this:
$subQuery = DB::query()->from('t1')->where('t1.col1', 'val1');
$query = DB::query()->fromSub($subQuery, 'subquery');
$query->join('t2', function(JoinClause $join) {
$join->on('subquery.col1', 't2.col2');
$join->where('t2.col3', 'val3');
})->where('t2.col4', 'val4');
Also bindings will be automatically and correctly merged to new query.
I like doing something like this:
Message::select('*')
->from(DB::raw("( SELECT * FROM `messages`
WHERE `to_id` = ".Auth::id()." AND `isseen` = 0
GROUP BY `from_id` asc) as `sub`"))
->count();
It's not very elegant, but it's simple.
This works fine
$q1 = DB::table('tableA')->groupBy('col');
$data = DB::table(DB::raw("({$q1->toSql()}) as sub"))->mergeBindings($q1)->get();
I could not made your code to do the desired query, the AS is an alias only for the table abc, not for the derived table.
Laravel Query Builder does not implicitly support derived table aliases, DB::raw is most likely needed for this.
The most straight solution I could came up with is almost identical to yours, however produces the query as you asked for:
$sql = Abc::groupBy('col1')->toSql();
$count = DB::table(DB::raw("($sql) AS a"))->count();
The produced query is
select count(*) as aggregate from (select * from `abc` group by `col1`) AS a;
->selectRaw('your subquery as somefield')
Deriving off mpskovvang's answer, here is what it would look like using eloquent model. (I tried updating mpskovvang answer to include this, but there's too many edit requests for it.)
$qry = Abc::where('col2', 'value')->groupBy('col1')->selectRaw('1');
$num = Abc::from($qry, 'q1')->count();
print $num;
Produces...
SELECT COUNT(*) as aggregate FROM (SELECT 1 FROM Abc WHERE col2='value' GROUP BY col1) as q1
I have used too much time (days) on this and I really hope someone can help me out.
I found a good article on describing my problem in a generic way so let's stick to it.
I am trying to build this query but NHibernate fails to build the correct sql and returns a sql query exception.
Column vSagsAendring.Id is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause. It could not execute the following query:
select
viewsagsae0_.Id as Id155_,
viewsagsae0_.SagId as SagId155_,
viewsagsae0_.JournalNr as JournalNr155_,
viewsagsae0_.LbfNr as LbfNr155_,
viewsagsae0_.OrgNr as OrgNr155_,
viewsagsae0_.OrgNavn as OrgNavn155_,
viewsagsae0_.AfdNavn as AfdNavn155_,
viewsagsae0_.SagsType as SagsType155_,
viewsagsae0_.Status as Status155_,
viewsagsae0_.SagsbehandlerInit as Sagsbeh10_155_,
viewsagsae0_.Dato as Dato155_,
viewsagsae0_.JournalAktionType as Journal12_155_,
viewsagsae0_.Beskrivelse as Beskriv13_155_,
viewsagsae0_.Ekstern as Ekstern155_
from vSagsAendring viewsagsae0_
group by viewsagsae0_.SagId
var query = from p in _session.Query<ViewSagsAendring>()
group p by p.SagId
into grp
select grp.OrderByDescending(g => g.Dato).First();
This is another version also took from the article:
var query = from p in _session.Query<ViewSagsAendring>()
group p by p.SagId
into grp
let maxDato = grp.Max(g => g.Dato)
from p in grp
where p.Dato == maxDato
select p;
It's have been a long journey, but now it's over. I hope that I can help someone else in the same situation by answering my own question.
var aendring = from sagsAendring in _session.Query<ViewSagsAendring>()
where sagsAendring.Dato ==
(
from innersagsAendring in _session.Query<ViewSagsAendring>()
where innersagsAendring.SagId == sagsAendring.SagId
select innersagsAendring.Dato
).Max()
select sagsAendring;
var result = aendring.ToList();
And because you can chain linq statements you can build a linq filter like this
if(Filters.VisInterneAendringer == false)
query = query.Where(x => x.Ekstern == true);
if (Filters.VisKunNyesteAendringer)
{
query = query.Where(sagsAendring => sagsAendring.Dato ==
(
from innerSagsAendring in Session.Query<ViewSagsAendring>() where innerSagsAendring.SagId == sagsAendring.SagId
select innerSagsAendring.Dato
).Max());
}
return query;
Your queries seem legit for LINQ in EntityFramework.
I'm not sure about hibernate, you might try to use QueryOver API instead of Query

Customer.text is a field in an T-SQL DB (that I do not control and thus may not alter) of type "text".
I'd like to do something like this:
List<string> compare = new List<string>();
compare.Add("one");
compare.Add("two");
var q = from t in customer
where t.text.Contains( compare.First())
select t;
this will work.
But now I'd like to do something like: (!NOT WORKING!)
var q = from t in customer
where compare.Contains( t.text )
select t;
How can I achieve this? Is it even possible?
EDIT: The problem is obviously not exactly clear: A text column in SQL cannot be queried using "=" but only with LIKE. Thus the compare.Contains( t.text ) will result in an error, as it is converted into a query using "=".
What I did not tell - I thought it is irrelevant - is, that I use LINQ-to-ORM (LLBLGen in this case).
What I tried instead:
var q = from t in customer
where compare.Any( x => t.text.Contains(x) )
select t;
Now this did not work also. Currently I'm not at work, but the exception was something with a ConstantExpression not being convertable into a SetExpression.
I hope this gave some clarification.
EDIT2:
Joseph pointed this out to me: PredicateBuilder. It creates an Expression on a given ObjectType.
Now my problem is, that my type is an anonymous type out of multiple joins.
Is there an easy or elegant way to handle this?
Now I might be missing something, but your code looks like it should work. Did you include the namespaces at the top of the file?
using System.Linq;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
You could also rewrite it without the Linq2Sql syntax, like:
var q = customer.Where(c => compare.Contains(c.text));
You could build your query using LinqKit's free predicate builder class. Here is a blog post which describes its use and has a link to the download site.
http://thecodeslinger.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/linqkit-predicatebuildert-goodness/
Below is a code sample from the post
//First get a list of keywords that match the description entered.
string[] parts = txtInclude.Text.Split(new[] {‘ ‘});
string[] noparts = null;
if(txtButNot.Text.Trim().Length > 0)
noparts = txtExclude.Text.Trim().Split(new[] {‘ ‘});
var pred = PredicateBuilder.True<Pet>();
//here is where you would loop through your compare object
parts.ForEach(p => pred = pred.And(pl => pl.description.Contains(p)));
if(noparts != null)
noparts.ForEach(p => pred = pred.And(pl => !pl.description.Contains(p)));
var pets = from s in db.Pets.Where(pred)
select s;
You have to convert the text field to string
var query = from t in dataContext.table
where compare.Contains(t.textField.ToString())
select t;
I use codeigniter and have an issue about SELECT MAX ... I couldnot find any solution at google search...
it looks like it returns only id :/ it's giving error for other columns of table :/
Appreciate helps, thanks!
Model:
function get_default()
{
$this->db->select_max('id');
$query = $this->db->getwhere('gallery', array('cat' => "1"));
if($query->num_rows() > 0) {
return $query->row_array(); //return the row as an associative array
}
}
Controller:
$default_img = $this->blabla_model->get_default();
$data['default_id'] = $default_img['id']; // it returns this
$data['default_name'] = $default_img['gname']; // it gives error for gname although it is at table
To achieve your goal, your desire SQL can look something like:
SELECT *
FROM gallery
WHERE cat = '1'
ORDER BY id
LIMIT 1
And to utilise CodeIgniter database class:
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->where('cat', '1');
$this->db->order_by('id', 'DESC');
$this->db->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get('gallery');
That is correct: select_max returns only the value, and no other column. From the specs:
$this->db->select_max('age');
$query = $this->db->get('members');
// Produces: SELECT MAX(age) as age FROM members
You may want to read the value first, and run another query.
For an id, you can also use $id = $this->db->insert_id();
See also: http://www.hostfree.com/user_guide/database/active_record.html#select
CodeIgniter will select * if nothing else is selected. By setting select_max() you are populating the select property and therefore saying you ONLY want that value.
To solve this, just combine select_max() and select():
$this->db->select('somefield, another_field');
$this->db->select_max('age');
or even:
$this->db->select('sometable.*', FALSE);
$this->db->select_max('age');
Should do the trick.
It should be noted that you may of course also utilize your own "custom" sql statements in CodeIgniter, you're not limited to the active record sql functions you've outlined thus far. Another active record function that CodeIgniter provides is $this->db->query(); Which allows you to submit your own SQL queries (including variables) like so:
function foo_bar()
{
$cat = 1;
$limit = 1;
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM gallery
WHERE cat = $cat
ORDER BY id
LIMIT $limit
";
$data['query'] = $this->db->query($sql);
return $data['query'];
}
Recently I have been utilizing this quite a bit as I've been doing some queries that are difficult (if not annoying or impossible) to pull off with CI's explicit active record functions.
I realize you may know this already, just thought it would help to include for posterity.
