Usage
The SQL Query Builder library allows you to build SQL queries fluently using an object-oriented approach. Here are some examples of usage:
Creating a SELECT Query
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a SELECT query $query = QueryBuilder::select('name', 'email') ->from('users') ->where('status = "active"') ->orderBy('name') ->limit(10); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT name, email FROM users WHERE status = "active" ORDER BY name LIMIT 10
Types of SQL Joins with QueryBuilder
The SQL Query Builder library supports various types of JOIN operations to combine rows from multiple tables based on a related column between them. Below are examples of different JOIN types you can use with QueryBuilder
:
1. INNER JOIN
An INNER JOIN returns records that have matching values in both tables.
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a SELECT query with INNER JOIN $query = QueryBuilder::select('u.name', 'a.address') ->from('users u') ->innerJoin('addresses a ON u.id = a.user_id'); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT u.name, a.address FROM users u INNER JOIN addresses a ON u.id = a.user_id
2. LEFT JOIN
A LEFT JOIN returns all records from the left table (first table) and the matched records from the right table (second table). If there is no match, the result is NULL on the right side.
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a SELECT query with LEFT JOIN $query = QueryBuilder::select('u.name', 'a.address') ->from('users u') ->leftJoin('addresses a ON u.id = a.user_id'); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT u.name, a.address FROM users u LEFT JOIN addresses a ON u.id = a.user_id
3. RIGHT JOIN
A RIGHT JOIN returns all records from the right table (second table) and the matched records from the left table (first table). If there is no match, the result is NULL on the left side.
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a SELECT query with RIGHT JOIN $query = QueryBuilder::select('u.name', 'a.address') ->from('users u') ->rightJoin('addresses a ON u.id = a.user_id'); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT u.name, a.address FROM users u RIGHT JOIN addresses a ON u.id = a.user_id
Creating a SELECT Query with DISTINCT
You can use the distinct()
method to specify a SELECT DISTINCT
query with QueryBuilder.
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a SELECT query with DISTINCT using QueryBuilder $query = QueryBuilder::select('name', 'email') ->distinct() ->from('users') ->where('status = "active"') ->orderBy('name') ->limit(10); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT DISTINCT name, email FROM users WHERE status = "active" ORDER BY name LIMIT 10
Creating a SELECT Query with GROUP BY
You can use the groupBy()
method to specify a GROUP BY
clause with QueryBuilder.
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a SELECT query with GROUP BY using QueryBuilder $query = QueryBuilder::select('category_id', 'COUNT(*) as count') ->from('products') ->groupBy('category_id'); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT category_id, COUNT(*) as count FROM products GROUP BY category_id
Creating a SELECT Query with HAVING Clause
You can use the having()
method to specify a HAVING
clause with QueryBuilder.
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a SELECT query with HAVING using QueryBuilder $query = QueryBuilder::select('category_id', 'COUNT(*) as count') ->from('products') ->groupBy('category_id') ->having('COUNT(*) > 5'); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT category_id, COUNT(*) as count FROM products GROUP BY category_id HAVING COUNT(*) > 5
Creating an INSERT Query
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create an INSERT query $query = QueryBuilder::insert('users') ->setValue('name', '"John Doe"') ->setValue('email', '"john.doe@example.com"') ->setValue('status', '"active"'); echo $query; // Outputs: INSERT INTO users (name, email, status) VALUES ("John Doe", "john.doe@example.com", "active")
Creating an UPDATE Query
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create an UPDATE query $query = QueryBuilder::update('users') ->set('status', '"inactive"') ->where('id = 123'); echo $query; // Outputs: UPDATE users SET status = "inactive" WHERE id = 123
Creating an DELETE Query
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; // Create a DELETE query $query = QueryBuilder::delete('users') ->where('status = "inactive"'); echo $query; // Outputs: DELETE FROM users WHERE status = "inactive"
Creating a SELECT Query with Custom Expression
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\QueryBuilder; use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example of a query with a custom expression $whereClause = Expr::greaterThan('age', '18'); $query = QueryBuilder::select('name', 'email') ->from('users') ->where($whereClause); echo $query; // Outputs: SELECT name, email FROM users WHERE age > 18
List of Available Expressions (Expr
)
Here is a comprehensive list of available static methods in the Expr
class along with examples demonstrating their usage:
Expr::equal(string $key, string $value)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate an equal comparison expression $equalExpr = Expr::equal('age', '30'); echo "Equal Expression: $equalExpr"; // Outputs: Equal Expression: age = 30
Expr::notEqual(string $key, string $value)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate a not equal comparison expression $notEqualExpr = Expr::notEqual('status', '"active"'); echo "Not Equal Expression: $notEqualExpr"; // Outputs: Not Equal Expression: status <> "active"
Expr::greaterThan(string $key, string $value)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate a greater than comparison expression $greaterThanExpr = Expr::greaterThan('salary', '50000'); echo "Greater Than Expression: $greaterThanExpr"; // Outputs: Greater Than Expression: salary > 50000
Expr::greaterThanEqual(string $key, string $value)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate a greater than or equal comparison expression $greaterThanEqualExpr = Expr::greaterThanEqual('points', '100'); echo "Greater Than or Equal Expression: $greaterThanEqualExpr"; // Outputs: Greater Than or Equal Expression: points >= 100
Expr::lowerThan(string $key, string $value)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate a lower than comparison expression $lowerThanExpr = Expr::lowerThan('price', '50'); echo "Lower Than Expression: $lowerThanExpr"; // Outputs: Lower Than Expression: price < 50
Expr::lowerThanEqual(string $key, string $value)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate a lower than or equal comparison expression $lowerThanEqualExpr = Expr::lowerThanEqual('quantity', '10'); echo "Lower Than or Equal Expression: $lowerThanEqualExpr"; // Outputs: Lower Than or Equal Expression: quantity <= 10
Expr::isNull(string $key)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate an IS NULL expression $isNullExpr = Expr::isNull('description'); echo "IS NULL Expression: $isNullExpr"; // Outputs: IS NULL Expression: description IS NULL
Expr::isNotNull(string $key)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate an IS NOT NULL expression $isNotNullExpr = Expr::isNotNull('created_at'); echo "IS NOT NULL Expression: $isNotNullExpr"; // Outputs: IS NOT NULL Expression: created_at IS NOT NULL
Expr::in(string $key, array $values)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate an IN expression $inExpr = Expr::in('category_id', [1, 2, 3]); echo "IN Expression: $inExpr"; // Outputs: IN Expression: category_id IN (1, 2, 3)
Expr::notIn(string $key, array $values)
use PhpDevCommunity\Sql\Expression\Expr; // Example: Generate a NOT IN expression $notInExpr = Expr::notIn('role', ['"admin"', '"manager"']); echo "NOT IN Expression: $notInExpr"; // Outputs: NOT IN Expression: role NOT IN ("admin", "manager")
These examples demonstrate how to use each Expr
class method to generate SQL expressions for various comparison and conditional operations. Incorporate these methods into your SQL Query Builder usage to construct complex and precise SQL queries effectively.
