I want to retrieve all rows matched on multiple partial prase against with a column. My situation can be explained as following raw sql:
SELECT *
FROM TABLENAME
WHERE COLUMN1 LIKE %abc%
OR COLUMN1 LIKE %bcd%
OR COLUMN1 LIKE %def%;
Here, abc, bcd, def are array elements. i.e: array('abc','bcd','def'). Is there any way to write code passing this array to form the above raw sql using cakephp 3?
N.B: I am using mysql as DBMS.
probably you can use Collection to create a proper array, but I think a foreach loop will do the job in the same amount of code. So here is my solution supposing $query stores your Query object
$a = ['abc','bcd','def'];
foreach($a as $value)
{
$or[] = function ($exp, $q) use ($value) {
return $exp->like('column1', '%'.$value.'%');
};
}
$query->where(['or' => $or]);
you could also use orWhere() but I see it will be deprecated in 3.6
I'm using hibernate search. Is it possible to exclude from fullTextQuery results with some field value ?
Example
Class Person with field firstname -> I want to get all results but without firstname:exampleName
I tried with filters but it in this case not return any results, the same thing is with replace MatchAllDocsQuery to BooleanQuery with clause MUST_NOT.
How to sovle this problem ?
A BooleanQuery should with BooleanClause.Occur of MUST_NOT should worlk. Show what you have tried? Or you could use the Hibernate Search specific query DSL where there is a 'must(query).not()' clause. The latter looks like this:
Query query = queryBuilder.bool()
.must( <your-query> )
.not()
.createQuery();
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
Let's suppose I have a table: Person(Name: univarchar) and this table contains a row "abc".
I search Person by using Hibernate (Criteria API and HQL):
Criteria API:
Criteria c = session.createCriteria(Person.class);
c.add(Restrictions.ilike(name,"abc"));
return c.list();
HQL:
String query = "from Person where lower(name) like :name";
Query q = session.createQuery(query);
query.setString("name","abc");
return query.list();
It return empty result. However, when I use Interactive SQL of Sybase to execute SQL statement that is generated by Hibernate, it return a row "abc".
I found a solution for HQL case. This is to use rtrim function:
String query = "from Person where lower(rtrim(name)) like :name";
...
But my problem is I want to use Criteria API and I cannot find any ways to trim name column by using Criteria API.
Thanks and sorry for my poor English.
Have you tried with this code :
Criteria c = session.createCriteria(Person.class);
c.add(Restrictions.ilike(name,"abc",MatchMode.ANYWHERE));
return c.list();
If this will not work then Read this. Its similar Just he wants to trim while Order you want to trim while Restrictions.
I have a query with optional parameter
"SELECT ClinicId,Name from Clinic where :ClinicIds is NULL OR ClinicId IN :ClinicIds"
List<int> ClinicIds = null;
I'm passing the parameter as following
q.SetParameterList("ClinicIds", ClinicIds);
Because ClinicId is an optional parameter. If I pass null to SetParameterList I'm getting exception. Any idea how I can pass an optional parameter(null value) to SetParameterList.
Thanks
Rather than using HQL, use a Criteria query. Its designed to be more programmatic than HQL, in that you use straight Java code to assemble your query, which enables you to use if-then logic. So, instead of either concatenating HQL, or having two different HQL queries which you need to independently maintain, you have one Criteria query which accounts for both situations. Example:
//SELECT ClinicId,Name from Clinic where :ClinicIds is NULL OR ClinicId IN :ClinicIds
Criteria criteria = getSession().createCriteria(Clinic.class);
if(ClinicIds == null) {
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("ClinicId", null));
} else {
criteria.add(Restrictions.or(
Restrictions.eq("ClinicId", null),
criteria.add(Restrictions.in("ClinicId", ClinicIds));
)
);
}
return criteria.list();
You can't. That would generate invalid SQL.
You need to change the HQL depending on whether there are ClinicIds.
I did it like:
"SELECT ClinicId,Name from Clinic where -1 in (:ClinicIds) OR ClinicId IN :ClinicIds"
and
if(ClinicIds == null or ClinicIds.isEmpty()){
ClinicIds = new List<int>();
ClinicIds.add(-1);
}
q.SetParameterList("ClinicIds", ClinicIds);
just a trick
