in Doctrine 2, I have a query and a few ->leftJoin(). How to find out which tables are connected?
EDIT>:
$this->createBuilder()->select()->leftJoin('a', 'aEntity')->leftJoin('b', 'bEntity')->getQuery()->execute();
and I want to get aEntity, bEntity

Rather than an actual question, this is a sticky note for myself, that may help others. There are many other similar questions: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, but none of them seems to offer this solution.
I have the following entities:
class Order
{
// ...
/**
* #ManyToOne(targetEntity="Customer")
*/
private Customer $customer;
/**
* #Column(type="integer")
*/
private int $amount;
}
class Customer
{
// ...
}
Order has a unidirectional, many-to-one relationship with Customer. I want to get every customer, along with the total amount of his orders, so I run the following DQL query:
SELECT c, SUM(o.amount)
FROM Model\Order o
JOIN o.customer c
GROUP BY c
But I get the following error:
[Doctrine\ORM\Query\QueryException]
[Semantical Error] line 0, col -1 near 'SELECT c, SUM(o.amount)': Error: Cannot select entity through identification variables without choosing at least one root entity alias.
How can I fix it?
This is a known Doctrine limitation.
The solution is to explicitly SELECT the entity you want to retrieve (Customer) and manually join the other entity (Order) from there, using a WITH condition:
SELECT c, SUM(o.amount)
FROM Model\Customer c
JOIN Model\Order o WITH o.customer = c
GROUP BY c
I have a table named Products in which there is a column id. It has foreign key relationship with prtyID column in ProductTypes Table. I just want to change the column id of Products table to prtyID. How is it possible? Is there any doctrine command is available for that? Please help me to fix this..
I'm not sure what you are trying to do here... id should be the primary id of Products, not a foreign key for another table. Please add your code if you ask a question.
Usually, Doctrine will use the property name to create the table column. So changing the property name to $prtyId would change your table column as well.
You can give every column the attribute "name" in the annotation of your entity, which will change the column name in your database:
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="integer", name="prtyID")
**/
protected $id;
Or, because you don't define the foreign keys yourself in Doctrine but the association, you can define the association like this:
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="ProductTypes")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="prtyID", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
protected $type;
This will create the column "prtyID" in your products table which is defined as the foreign key to productTypes primary colum "id"
I have two tables I would like to call, but I am not sure if it is possible to combine them into one query or I have to some how call 2 different queries.
Basically I have 2 tables:
1) item_table: name/id etc. + category ID
2) category_table: categoryID, categoryName, categoryParentID.
The parent categories are also inside the same table with their own name.
I would like to call on my details from item_table, as well as getting the name of the category, as well as the NAME of the parent category.
I know how to get the item_table data, plus the categoryName through an INNER JOIN. But can I use the same query to get the categoryParent's name?
If not, what would be the mist efficient way to do it? The rest of the code is in C++.
SELECT item_table.item_name, c1.name AS CatName, c2.name AS ParentCatName
FROM item_table join category_table c1 on item_table.categoryID=c1.categoryID
LEFT OUTER JOIN category_table c2 ON c2.categoryID = c1.categoryParentID

I am building an app in Symfony2, using Doctrine2 with mysql. I would like to use a fulltext search. I can't find much on how to implement this - right now I'm stuck on how to set the table engine to myisam.
It seems that it's not possible to set the table type using annotations. Also, if I did it manually by running an "ALTER TABLE" query, I'm not sure if Doctrine2 will continue to work properly - does it depend on the InnoDB foreign keys?
Is there a better place to ask these questions?
INTRODUCTION
Doctrine2 uses InnoDB which supports Foreign Keys used in Doctrine associations. But as MyISAM does not support this yet, you can not use MyISAM to manage Doctrine Entities.
On the other side, MySQL v5.6, currently in development, will bring the support of InnoDB FTS and so will enable the Full-Text search in InnoDB tables.
SOLUTIONS
So there are two solutions :
Using the MySQL v5.6 at your own risks and hacking a bit Doctrine to implement a MATCH AGAINST method : link in french... (I could translate if needed but there still are bugs and I would not recommend this solution)
As described by quickshifti, creating a MyISAM table with fulltext index just to perform the search on. As Doctrine2 allows native SQL requests and as you can map this request to an entity (details here).
EXAMPLE FOR THE 2nd SOLUTION
Consider the following tables :
table 'user' : InnoDB [id, name, email]
table 'search_user : MyISAM [user_id, name -> FULLTEXT]
Then you just have to write a search request with a JOIN and mapping (in a repository) :
<?php
public function searchUser($string) {
// 1. Mapping
$rsm = new ResultSetMapping();
$rsm->addEntityResult('Acme\DefaultBundle\Entity\User', 'u');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'id', 'id');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'name', 'name');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'email', 'email');
// 2. Native SQL
$sql = 'SELECT u.id, u.name FROM search_user AS s JOIN user AS u ON s.user_id = u.id WHERE MATCH(s.name) AGAINST($string IN BOOLEAN MODE)> 0;
// 3. Run the query
$query = $this->_em->createNativeQuery($sql, $rsm);
// 4. Get the results as Entities !
$results = $query->getResult();
return $results;
}
?>
But the FULLTEXT index needs to stay up-to-date. Instead of using a cron task, you can add triggers (INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE) like this :
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_insert_search_user
AFTER INSERT ON user
FOR EACH ROW
INSERT INTO search_user SET user_id=NEW.id, name=NEW.name;
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_update_search_user
AFTER UPDATE ON user
FOR EACH ROW
UPDATE search_user SET name=name WHERE user_id=OLD.id;
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_delete_search_user
AFTER DELETE ON user
FOR EACH ROW
DELETE FROM search_user WHERE user_id=OLD.id;
So that your search_user table will always get the last changes.
Of course, this is just an example, I wanted to keep it simple, and I know this query could be done with a LIKE.
Doctrine ditched the fulltext Searchable feature from v1 on the move to Doctrine2. You will likely have to roll your own support for a fulltext search in Doctrine2.
I'm considering using migrations to generate the tables themselves, running the search queries w/ the native SQL query option to get sets of ids that refer to tables managed by Doctrine, then using said sets of ids to hydrate records normally through Doctrine.
Will probly cron something periodic to update the fulltext tables.
I have a select field that fetch from an entity
and I would like to customize completely my select by choosing the table the id is picked from
(here I would like to select t.id instead of tl.id as the select value)
return $er->createQueryBuilder('tl')
->addSelect('l')
->addSelect('t')
->leftJoin('tl.lang', 'l')
->leftJoin('tl.type', 't')
->where('l.isDefault = 1')
->orderBy('tl.name', 'ASC');
Due to my tables, I can't simply fetch the table t, I have to use tl
Your query is not according to the syntax defined in Doctrine 2 QueryBuilder: http://www.doctrine-project.org/docs/orm/2.0/en/reference/query-builder.html
Your query might work in Doctrine 1.2 but in Doctrine 2 you should build your query according to the syntax defined in the link I posted above.
For example ->addSelect('l') is not being used in Doctrine 2 anymore. It has become ->add('select', 'l').
You don't have to set different alias for your column. It'll be hydrated as column of the related entity.
