Yii CSqlDataProvider with relations - php

Question

I have an complex query with joins and conditions
and I get data with CSqlDataProvider
But I also need to join relational table records.
Lets say, we have table A (products) and table B (product_modifications)
I need to list products along with their modifications..
I get data from table A, and i need also to get some records from table B
for each record in table A, query should get an array from table B
Basic code:
class Product extends CActiveRecord
{
//some code
public function relations()
{
return array(
'modifications' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Modification', 'modification_product_id'),
);
}
//some code
}
my query
$sql = Yii::app()->db->createCommand();
...//different joins and conditions
$this->dataProvider = new CSqlDataProvider($sql->text, array(
'keyField' => 'product_id',
'pagination' => array('pageSize' => 20),
));
How can i join records from table B (product_modifications)?
In CActiveDataProvider its like:
$this->dataProvider = new CActiveDataProvider ('products', array(
'pagination' => array('pageSize' => 20),
'criteria' => array(
'with' => array(
'modifications' => array('condition' => 'some condition',),
),
),
));
But i dont know how to do this with CSqlDataProvider
UPD:
solved by converting query to corresponding CActiveDataProvider query

You can't use AR-relation with sql commands, because it is absolutely different tools for work with Db. In ActiveRecord you are using relation, in Sql commands you are using sql-joins. That's mean you should add you condition there with join:
$sql = Yii::app()->db->createCommand();
...//different joins and conditions + your condition
