ORM removes duplicates. But not everywhere - php

Question

I am making some DB query via repository (ORM), I want to get a list of objects.
What's my problem?
I have two methods in the repository: getList() to get a list and getCount() to get the number of total records for information.
getList() gives me 5 records, and getCount() gives the number 9.
public function getList($criteria, $page, $limit, $orderBy, $joins = [])
{
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('a')->select('a');
if(!empty($joins)) {
$qb = $this->setCriteriaByJoins($qb, $joins);
}
$qb = $this->setCriteriaToQuery($qb, $criteria);
foreach($orderBy as $order) {
$qb->addOrderBy('a.' . $order[0], $order[1]);
}
if($page && $limit) {
$offset = ($page - 1) * $limit;
$qb->setFirstResult($offset)
->setMaxResults($limit);
}
$result = $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
return $result;
}
public function getCount($criteria = [], $joins = []) {
try {
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('a')->select('count(a.id)');
if(!empty($joins)) {
$qb = $this->setCriteriaByJoins($qb, $joins);
}
$qb = $this->setCriteriaToQuery($qb, $criteria);
$result = $qb->getQuery()->getSingleScalarResult();
} catch(\Exception $e) {
$result = 0;
}
return $result;
}
In debugging, I see that the getList() request was built like this:
SELECT r0 _. * FROM film r0_ LEFT JOIN person_film r1_ ON (r0_.id = r1_.film_id) WHERE r1_.person_id IN (45793) AND r0_.status = 1 ORDER BY r0_.`release` DESC, r0_.id DESC LIMIT 48
and getCount()
SELECT count (r0_.id) AS sclr_0 FROM film r0_ LEFT JOIN person_film r1_ ON (r0_.id = r1_.film_id) WHERE r1_.person_id IN (45793) AND r0_.status = 1
Requesting getList() from the repository gives me 5 records. However, if I directly ask the database with this query (without ORM), then I will get 9 records. Of these 9 records, 4 are duplicated due to the fact that the person_film table can contain more than one record with the same film_id and person_id (these records differ in other fields). I found that /vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Internal/Hydration/ObjectHydrator.php:hydrateRowData() removes duplicates.
How to do to make the ORM in the getList() request return all 9 records, even if they are duplicates?
And vice versa. How to do to the getCount() to return 5.

Answer 1

it seems like this is the answer to the second question
public function getCount($criteria = [], $joins = [], $distinct = false) {
try {
$sq = ($distinct) ? 'count(distinct(a.id))' : 'count(a.id)';
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('a')->select($sq);
if(!empty($joins)) {
$qb = $this->setCriteriaByJoins($qb, $joins);
}
$qb = $this->setCriteriaToQuery($qb, $criteria);
$result = $qb->getQuery()->getSingleScalarResult();
} catch(\Exception $e) {
$result = 0;
}
return $result;
}
