When i try to use timestamp in time format in expression .I got error
For example
$query->addExpression('date("H:i:s","dept_timestamp")','time_val');
I think the problem is that you've put a PHP function into addExpression. It's feeding your expression straight into the database, so you'll want to use a date-formatting function that your db will understand. Assuming you're using MySQL as a backend, you'd want something like this:
$query->addExpression('from_unixtime("dept_timestamp", "%h:%i:%s")', 'time_val');
Here's a full example that, for no good reason, joins the node table and the field_data_body table:
$query = db_select('node', 'n')
->fields('n', array('nid', 'title'));
$query->join('field_data_body', 'b', 'n.nid = b.entity_id');
$query->fields('b', array('body_value'));
$query->addExpression("from_unixtime(created, '%h:%i:%s')", 'my_timestamp');
$result = $query->execute();

Hi I'm new to CodeIgniter and I just want to know How will I query from my MySql Db, a Select Statement with a where clause, I know it can be searched from the net but whenever I try something I get errors, It's really frustrating. The string in the Where clause will be coming from a User Input. Thanks guys!
You can do as Mehedi-PSTU stated, however it seems as though you're a little new to this, so here's some extra information:
I'll copy Mehedi-PSTU for the most part here.
$this->get->where('column_name', $equals_this_variable);
$query = $this->db->get('table_name');
This will store the query object in the variable $query.
if you wanted to convert that to a usable array, you just perform to following.
$results = $query->result_array();
Or you can loop through it like this:
foreach($query->result_array() as $result){
// Perform some task here.
}
A better or even full understanding can probably come from:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/database/active_record.html
Try something like this
$this->db->where('db_attr', $var);
return $this->db->get('table');
Try this one.
$id = 'your id';
$this->db->select("*");
$this->db->from("table_name");
$this->db->where('id','$id');
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result_array();
In Codeigniter with Method Chaining Style :-
$data['getData'] = $this->db->get_where('table_name',array('column_name'=>$var))->result_array();
I'm using SQL in Yii framework.
I need to show the person's latest active week (it's number and date).So I wrote following code:
public function latestWeek()
{
$datalogin=//the login is working fine
$sql ="SELECT w.number,MAX(w.start_date)
FROM tbl_person_week t, tbl_week w
WHERE t.person_id=$this->id AND t.week_id=w.id";
$query = mysqli_query($datalogin, $sql);
return $query;
}
Now , I checked this query on the server and it works fine (almost) but first thing: I need to convert it into string , because yii's CgridView can't read it , and I couldn't find a working solution for this.
Second: on the server , it gave me the max date indeed , but not it's correct number , but the first number available. How can I fix this as well?
Queries like that should never be used in objective framework. If yu want to execute your own query, you should do it this way:
$sql = "your sql code";
$array = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql)->queryAll();
As result you will get multidimensional array with selected columns and rows
If you want to use it in grid view, you should do it this way:
$count = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql)->queryScalar();
$dataProvider = new CSqlDataProvider($sql, array('totalItemCount'=>$count));
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'id'=>'grid-id',
'dataProvider'=> $dataProvider,
));
You can also use connection other than Yii::app()->db. Check CDbConnection class in docs.
edit: if you wanna use queries like mysql_fetch_assoc, check out also queryRow() method instead of queryAll()
Use Mysql_fetch _array
public function latestWeek()
{
$datalogin=//the login is working fine
$sql ="SELECT w.number,MAX(w.start_date)
FROM tbl_person_week t, tbl_week w
WHERE t.person_id=$this->id AND t.week_id=w.id";
$query = mysqli_query($datalogin, $sql);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
echo $row;
}
}
Assuming from your qu. that you want the week number and start date as one string, you have to concatenate the two columns in the sql.
You also need to specify that the week number is from the row with the maximum start date, which isn't as simple as you might first think.
I don't like injecting the person_id straight into SQL, it isn't awful in this case but is a bad habit to get into security-wise. There are binding methods available in the framework and I agree with Arek, that you should lean on the yii framework as much as possible.
To get the scalar string value, if you are insisting on using your own SQL.. I suggest the following:
$sql='
SELECT CONCAT('Week ',tw.number,' starting ',tw.start_date)
FROM tbl_week tw
JOIN (
SELECT MAX(twi.start_date) max_start_date
FROM tbl_week twi
JOIN tbl_person_week tpwi
ON tpwi.week_id = twi.id
AND tpwi.person_id = :person_id
) i
ON tw.start_date = i.max_start_date;
';
$command=Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql);
$command->bindParam(":person_id", $this->id);
return $command->queryScalar();
I've tried reading other posts on stackoverflow and also checked the active record documentation for ci, but i can't seem to find the answer to my question
I have the following logic in my model:
$query = $this->db->get_where('categories', array('parent_id' => $category_id));
the sql this generates as per the last_query() method is:
SELECT * FROM (categories) WHERE parent_id = '8'
I need to remove the quotes around the number 8. How would I do that?
I've tried using the select statement and passing false as the second parm. So for example:
$this->db->select('*', false);
$this->db->from('categories');
$this->db->where('parent_id=',$category_id);
But that didn't really change much. Any suggestions?
Thank you
By default, CodeIgniter tries to predict the data type in your comparison, and use the appropriate SQL syntax accordingly. If your query is using single quotes, it might indicate that $category_id is being treated as a string rather than an integer. What happens if you try:
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('categories');
$this->db->where('parent_id', (int) $category_id);
Alternatively, you can construct your own WHERE statement manually:
$this->db->where('parent_id = ' . (int) $category_id);
For MIN and MAX query I used null and false keyword to remove the quotes.
$this->db->where("$value > min_column",null,false);
$this->db->where("$value < max_column",null,false);
The idea of the methods is to auto escape to protect against SQL injections, if for some reason you don't want to you can send a raw query like this :
$q = "select * from categories where parent_id = $category_id";
$this->db->query($q)->result();
Which i find much easier. However i think you can send an extra false paremeter to disable it, something like :
$query = $this->db->get_where('categories', array('parent_id' => $category_id),false);
FYI, if you want to send raw queries and escape them(for more complex queries) you can use :
$category_id = $this->db->escape($category_id);
Let me preface by saying I know nothing about doctrine, but at my new position we use it all over the place (not sure why...). Either way, here's the php and mySQL statement I'm trying to turn into a Doctrine statement:
$find_vac = mysql_query("SELECT Vacancies FROM States WHERE Abbreviation = '".$state."'");
I think the part that's tripping me up is where the Abbreviation is a variable. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
UPDATE:
$res = Doctrine_Query::create()
->select('Vacancies')
->from('States')
->where('Abbreviation = ?', $state)
->execute();
$vacancies = $res[0]->getVacancies();
The above returns an error.
echo $res['Vacancies']."<br />";
This returns the number 4 no matter which state is selected (and even then all states range from 0-3 for the number of vacancies).
Something like this should do it. The variables can be inserted into the query in the same way as prepared statements.
$res = Doctrine_Query::create()
->select('Vacancies')
->from('States')
->where('Abbreviation = ?', $state)
->execute();
EDIT: This will give you an array of States in array form that match the search criteria. If you just want to get the value of the first one's vacancies, you can get it like this:
$vacancies = $res[0]['Vacancies'];
Or course, you'll also want to check that $res[0] exists and is itself an array in case a bogus or nonexistent $state is used.
I'm trying to build a query with propel Criteria to get all Foo's in a given month.
For example I want all Foo's in March. In regular SQL I would build a query like this:
SELECT * FROM FooPeer WHERE MONTH(startDate) = 3
Any Idea how I can implement the "MySQL Month-function within a Criteria Object" ?
$c = new Criteria();
$c -> add(FooEvent::START_DATE, 3, Criteria::EQUAL); //where do I have to put the Month function ?
return self::doSelect($c);
Alright, a Custom Criteria did the job!
$month = 3; //march
$criteria->add(FooPeer::START_DATE, 'MONTH('.FooPeer::START_DATE.')='. $month, Criteria::CUSTOM);
This question was partly answered there: How to use MySQL functions in Propel
Using Criteria::CUSTOM or writing custom SQL seem to be the only solutions.
