Using with and together in Yii - yii

Question

I have a grid with paging which displays client data.
Let's say I have a table Client with name, lastName and address in it, a table Phone_Number which has phone numbers for each of the rows in Client and a table Adress which has adresses for each client. So each Client HAS MANY Phone_Numbers and HAS MANY Adresses.
The point is I'm trying to set a limit to the grid's store read.
So let's say I set limit = 2. The grid should display only 2 rows per page (2 clients).
The problem is that if, for example, client1 has two phone numbers, the query will bring two rows, making the grid display only one client. I am aware that setting together=>false in the query will solve this. But I'm getting an unknown column error whenever I set together=>false.
Here's the code I'm using....
Client::model()->with(
'clientPhoneNumbers',
'clientPhoneNumbers'.'PhoneNumber',
'clientAddresses',
'clientAddresses'.'Address'
)->findAll(array(condition=>(('Address.s_street_name LIKE :queryString') OR ('PhoneNumber.n_number LIKE :queryString')), params=>$params, order=>$order, limit=>$limit,together=>false));
If I do this, I get an error like: Column not found: Address.s_street_name . However, if I set together=>true, it works just "fine".
I found a solution to this problem by doing the query like this....
$with = array(
'clientPhoneNumbers',
'clientPhoneNumbers'.'PhoneNumber'=>array(condition=>('PhoneNumber.n_number LIKE :queryString'), params=>array(':queryString'=>$queryString)),
'clientAddresses',
'clientAddresses'.'Address'=>array(condition=>('Address.s_street_name LIKE :queryString'), params=>array(':queryString'=>$queryString))
);
Client::model()->findAll(array(with=>$with, order=>$order, limit=>$limit,together=>false));
The problem is that if I do it like this, the condition is something like this
(('Address.s_street_name LIKE :queryString') AND ('PhoneNumber.n_number LIKE :queryString'))
and I need it to be like this
(('Address.s_street_name LIKE :queryString') OR ('PhoneNumber.n_number LIKE :queryString')).
Any ideas ?
Keep in mind that the names of the relations and tables are not the actual names. The models and relations where created using Gii

Answer 1

Hmm.. this is how I would try it.
<?php
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->with = array('clientPhoneNumbers', 'clientAddresses');
$criteria->together = true;
$criteria->addCondition(array('Address.s_street_name LIKE :queryString', 'PhoneNumber.n_number LIKE :queryString'), 'OR');
$criteria->params = array(':queryString' => $queryString);
$criteria->limit = $limit;
$criteria->order = $order;
$result = Client::model()->findAll($criteria);
?>
Also, I think this describes a case similar to yours. Note that he/she is updating the condition parameter explicitly, but IMO doing it with the addCondition method is more readable.

Answer 2

use criteria with join statement.
public function test()
{
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->alias = 'i';
$criteria->compare('id',$this->id);
.........
.........
$criteria->join= 'JOIN phoneNUmbers d ON (i.id=d.id)';
return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
'criteria'=>$criteria,
'sort'=>array(
'defaultOrder'=>'clients ASC',
),
));
}
Alternately use DAO to prepare and execute your own query and return data in the format you wish.
Or you can use CSQLDataProvier. the last 2 options give you more control over the SQL statement
