SQLConditionalExpression::addWhere() for syntax examples

in SQLConditionalExpression at line 513
$this addWhere($where)

Adds a WHERE clause.

Note that the database will execute any parameterised queries using prepared statements whenever available.

There are several different ways of doing this.

// the entire predicate as a single string $query->addWhere("\"Column\" = 'Value'");

// multiple predicates as an array $query->addWhere(array("\"Column\" = 'Value'", "\"Column\" != 'Value'"));

// Shorthand for the above using argument expansion $query->addWhere("\"Column\" = 'Value'", "\"Column\" != 'Value'");

// multiple predicates with parameters $query->addWhere(array('"Column" = ?' => $column, '"Name" = ?' => $value)));

// Shorthand for simple column comparison (as above), omitting the '?' $query->addWhere(array('"Column"' => $column, '"Name"' => $value));

// Multiple predicates, each with multiple parameters. $query->addWhere(array( '"ColumnOne" = ? OR "ColumnTwo" != ?' => array(1, 4), '"ID" != ?' => $value ));

// Using a dynamically generated condition (any object that implements SQLConditionGroup) $condition = new ObjectThatImplements_SQLConditionGroup(); $query->addWhere($condition);

Note that if giving multiple parameters for a single predicate the array of values must be given as an indexed array, not an associative array.

Also should be noted is that any null values for parameters may give unexpected behaviour. array('Column' => NULL) is shorthand for array('Column = ?', NULL), and will not match null values for that column, as 'Column IS NULL' is the correct syntax.

Additionally, be careful of key conflicts. Adding two predicates with the same condition but different parameters can cause a key conflict if added in the same array. This can be solved by wrapping each individual condition in an array. E.g.

// Multiple predicates with duplicate conditions $query->addWhere(array( array('ID != ?' => 5), array('ID != ?' => 6) ));

// Alternatively this can be added in two separate calls to addWhere $query->addWhere(array('ID != ?' => 5)); $query->addWhere(array('ID != ?' => 6));

// Or simply omit the outer array $query->addWhere(array('ID != ?' => 5), array('ID != ?' => 6));

If it's necessary to force the parameter to be considered as a specific data type by the database connector's prepared query processor any parameter can be cast to that type by using the following format.

// Treat this value as a double type, regardless of its type within PHP $query->addWhere(array( 'Column' => array( 'value' => $variable, 'type' => 'double' ) ));

$this addAssignments(array $assignments)

Adds assignments for a list of several fields.

For multi-row objects this applies this to the current row.

Note that field values must not be escaped, as these will be internally parameterised by the database engine.

// Basic assignments $query->addAssignments(array( '"Object"."Title"' => 'Bob', '"Object"."Description"' => 'Bob was here' ))

// Parameterised assignments $query->addAssignments(array( '"Object"."Title"' => array('?' => 'Bob')), '"Object"."Description"' => array('?' => null)) ))

// Complex parameters $query->addAssignments(array( '"Object"."Score"' => array('MAX(?,?)' => array(1, 3)) ));

// Assigment of literal SQL for a field. The empty array is // important to denote the zero-number paramater list $query->addAssignments(array( '"Object"."Score"' => array('NOW()' => array()) ));

Parameters

array $assignments The list of fields to assign

Return Value

$this Self reference
