DQL JOIN Syntax:
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
[[LEFT | INNER] JOIN <component_reference1>] [ON | WITH] <join_condition1> [INDEXBY] <map_condition1>,
|
|
[[LEFT | INNER] JOIN <component_reference2>] [ON | WITH] <join_condition2> [INDEXBY] <map_condition2>,
|
|
...
|
|
[[LEFT | INNER] JOIN <component_referenceN>] [ON | WITH] <join_conditionN> [INDEXBY] <map_conditionN>
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
DQL supports two kinds of joins INNER JOINs and LEFT JOINs. For each joined component, you can optionally specify an alias.
|
|
|
|
* The default join type is {{LEFT JOIN}}. This join can be indicated by the use of either {{LEFT JOIN}} clause or simply '{{,}}', hence the following queries are equal:
|
|
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.*, p.* FROM User u LEFT JOIN u.Phonenumber
|
|
|
|
SELECT u.*, p.* FROM User u, u.Phonenumber p
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
The recommended form is the first one.
|
|
|
|
* {{INNER JOIN}} produces an intersection between two specified components (that is, each and every record in the first component is joined to each and every record in the second component). So basically {{INNER JOIN}} can be used when you want to efficiently fetch for example all users which have one or more phonenumbers.
|
|
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.*, p.* FROM User u INNER JOIN u.Phonenumber p
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
By default DQL auto-adds the primary key join condition, so for DQL query:
|
|
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.id, p.id FROM User u LEFT JOIN u.Phonenumber
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
Would have a SQL equivalent:
|
|
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.id AS u__id, p.id AS p__id FROM User u LEFT JOIN Phonenumber p ON u.id = p.user_id
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
+++ ON keyword
|
|
If you want to override this behaviour and add your own custom join condition you can do it with the {{ON}} keyword. Consider the following DQL query:
|
|
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.id, p.id FROM User u LEFT JOIN u.Phonenumber ON u.id = 2
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
This query would be converted into SQL:
|
|
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.id AS u__id, p.id AS p__id FROM User u LEFT JOIN Phonenumber p ON u.id = 2
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
+++ WITH keyword
|
|
Most of the time you don't need to override the primary join condition, rather you may want to add some custom conditions. This can be achieved with the {{WITH}} keyword.
|
|
|
|
DQL:
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.id, p.id FROM User u LEFT JOIN u.Phonenumber WITH u.id = 2
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
SQL:
|
|
<code type="sql">
|
|
SELECT u.id AS u__id, p.id AS p__id FROM User u LEFT JOIN Phonenumber p ON u.id = p.user_id AND u.id = 2
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Doctrine_Query API offers two convenience methods for adding JOINS. These are called innerJoin() and leftJoin(), which usage should be quite intuitive as shown below:
|
|
|
|
<code type="php">
|
|
$q = new Doctrine_Query();
|
|
$q->from('User u')
|
|
->leftJoin('u.Group g')
|
|
->innerJoin('u.Phonenumber p WITH u.id > 3')
|
|
->leftJoin('u.Email e');
|
|
|
|
$users = $q->execute();
|
|
</code>
