Laravel Relation where not in - php

Question

I have following table
users
id | username | password
1 | scott | 98746
2 | mark | 6542
3 | michel | 6589
user_detail
id | user_id | status | mobile_number
1 | 1 | pending | 987643210
2 | 2 | review | 3216547901
Now i want to retrieve those record where user has no records in user_detail table where status=pending
I have tried using relations in latest version
$user=User::with('userDetail')
->whereDoesntHave('userDetail',function ($query){
$query->where('status','pending');
})->get();
Same logic i am looking for without relations in laravel.Since we are using old laravel version which doesn't support.

Answer 1

I do not know what you mean by there are no relations, but if you have to do it with plain SQL, the query will look something like this:
$qry = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id not in (SELECT u.id FROM users u INNER JOIN user_details d ON (u.id = d.user_id AND d.status = 'pending'));"
Then you can run the query by calling:
$results = DB::select($qry);
PS: Since I was not able to find it in the old docs, DB::select() may require 2nd param. If that is the case, just pass null as the second parameter.
EDIT:
I am not sure if this will work, and since it is for an old version, I am unable to test it, but something similar should work:
$rest = User::whereNotIn('id', function($q){
$q->select('user_id')->from('user_detail')->where('status','pending');
});

I believe you can do this by using left joins, something like this:
$rest = DB::table('users')
->leftJoin('userDetail','users.id','=','userDetail.user_id')
->whereNull('userDetail.id')
->orWhere('userDetail.status','=','pending')
->get();
If you need the eloquent collection of Users, you can use the hydrate method like this:
$rest = User::hydrate(DB::table('users')
->leftJoin('userDetail','users.id','=','userDetail.user_id')
->whereNull('userDetail.id')
->orWhere('userDetail.status','=','pending')
->select('users.*')
->get()->toArray());
cheers!
