I have a MySQL command and I cannot find the equivalent in DQL. I am trying to fetch the list most commented posts. Here is the MySQL command :
SELECT posts.id, COUNT(comments.id) AS num
FROM posts
LEFT JOIN comments ON ( posts.id = comments.post_id )
GROUP BY posts.id
Here is the result :
id num
1 8
2 9
3 17
4 7
5 6
6 20
7 7
8 10
9 14
10 7
In DQL, it should be :
SELECT post, COUNT(comment.id) AS num
FROM Entity\Post post
LEFT JOIN post.comments comment
GROUP BY post.id
But this gives :
id num
1 50
2 0
3 0
4 0
5 0
6 0
7 0
8 0
9 0
10 0
I don't understand where the 50 comes from and why there is a difference between the 2 results. Could you tell me how to make this join work in Doctrine ?
I've made a few test and I found that everything seems to be fine.
Video: id, title, ...
Comment: id, video_id, content, ...
Database schema is very simple and I think there's no need for any explanation.
#DQL:
SELECT v.id, COUNT(c.id) AS num
FROM Video v
JOIN v.comments c
GROUP BY v.id
ORDER BY num DESC
#Generated SQL:
SELECT v0_.id AS id0, COUNT(v1_.id) AS sclr1
FROM video v0_
INNER JOIN video_comment v1_ ON v0_.id = v1_.video_id
GROUP BY v0_.id
ORDER BY sclr1 DESC
#Result set:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 148
[num] => 3
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 96
[num] => 2
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 111
[num] => 1
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 139
[num] => 1
)
)
If you select entire Video
object instead of its id (v
instead of v.id
in SELECT
clause) the query will execute as well. Of course instead of id
element there will be an Video
object under 0th element.
Tested on Doctrine 2.1.0-DEV
EDITED: People - This answer does not work. At least you can eliminate this from possible solutions.
SELECT post, COUNT(comment.id) AS num
FROM Entity\Post post
LEFT JOIN post.comments comment
GROUP BY post
You were grouping by post.id
, not post
btw, this is a total guess. I don't know DQL, but I do know hibernate, and it seems similar-ish. If it's wrong I'll delete this answer - let me know by comment.
I don't know DQL, and this might be stupid....but you posted this:
SELECT post, COUNT(comment.id) AS num
FROM Entity\Post post
LEFT JOIN post.comments comment
GROUP BY post.id
Shouldn't you be selecting post.id
? I know it sounds weird, but from what I understand, select post
is equivalent to select *
. Yet, in your output, you're only getting the ID column. I thought it might be worth noting (even if it isn't).
