I'm trying to return an array of objects like I used to do in CodeIgniter, but now I'm using Zend Framework. I'm very new at it. I want to add a where clause to fetchAll(). I tried:
$objDocs = new Studyclub_Meetings_Docs();
$this->view->arrDocs = $objDocs->fetchAll(array('meeting_id' => $intMeetingId));
but that returns an array of arrays. How do I return an array of objects? I'm using ZF 1.x.
Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract::fetchAll() which appears to be the variant of fetchAll() you are using accepts a third argument: $fetchMode
You probably just need to adjust your code to specify the fetch mode you prefer:
$objDocs = new Studyclub_Meetings_Docs();
$this->view->arrDocs = $objDocs->fetchAll(array('meeting_id' => $intMeetingId), Zend_Db::FETCH_OBJ);
Good Luck!

I have an accessor/attribute ( public function getGalleryAttribute() ) that adds an array of images to the model
I used to eager load this with: protected $appends = ['gallery'] , but I got rid of it to be able to control when I want to append the gallery or not.
I can append the gallery to a single model:
$event = Event::find(126)->append('gallery');
But how do I manually append an accessor when there is more than one result?
This doesn't work:
$events = Event::all()->append('gallery');
return $events;
error:
BadMethodCallException: Method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::append does not exist
If you are using Eloquent 5.5 or later, you can use Collection::each to append to each item:
$events = Event::all()->each->append('gallery');
You should also look into Eloquent: API Resources to define alternative serialization options for the same model.
So... I've inherited this rather large project based on Zend Framework 1.12 and a feature that I'm trying to add involves a more complex database operation than what I'm used to doing with the project. I'm extremely new to Zend Framework, or MVC for that matter. I found an answer for Zend Framework 3 which would have been perfect but I have to make do with this version.
The function basically builds a Zend_Db_Select based on various parameters and the feature I'm trying to add will involve joining two different tables and checking if a specific combination exists in one or the other.
Here's what I have so far:
//SQL that I'm trying to do. Assume table1 and table2 are already joined.
//Ignore the imperfect syntax. I'm trying to get the concept across.
//SELECT * FROM (table1 joined to table2 by a common key)
//WHERE ( (table1.column1 = myParam1) AND (table1.column2 = myParam2) )
//OR WHERE ( (table2.column1 = myParam1) AND (table2.column2 = myParam2) )
public function buildSelect($params){
//Zend code starts here
//This one starts the Zend_Db_Select
$select = $this->select();
$table1Name = get_table_name_from_object($table1);
//lots of preexisting code here
//my code starts here.
$table2Name = get_table_name_from_object($table2);
$select->join($table2Name, "$table1Name.key = $table2Name.key", array('column1', 'column2', 'key');
//After I wrote this, I instantly realized why it won't work the way I intended it but putting it here to show what I tried at which point I got stuck.
$select->where("($table1Name.column1 = ?) OR ($table2Name.column1 = ?)",$params[1]);
$select->where( "($table1Name.column2 = ?) OR ($table2Name.column2 = ?)", $params[2]);
//more preexisting code below.
return $select
}
Obviously, if I tried this as is, the program will happily return results that include a combination of, say, an entry where param1 is in table1.column1 and param2 is in table2.column2.
I received some feedback from a friend and posting here for posterity.
They noticed my code already contains parentheses and recommended that I simply take advantage of orWhere() then write it like this:
$select->where("($tableName1.column1 = ?", $params[param1])
->where("$tableName1.column2 = ?)", $params[param2]);
$select->orWhere("($tableName1.column1 = ?",$params[param1])
->where("$tableName2.column2 = ?)",$params[param2]);
I am trying to perform an update using strongly-typed objects. For example,
public void setAppointmentPrefs(string UserName, IEnumerable<AppointmentInfo> info)
{
var query = new QueryDocument {{ "ProviderId", UserName}};
var update = Update.Set("Prefs",prefs); // prefs.toList() gives same error
// providerprefs initialized in constructor
providerprefs.Update(query, update);
}
I receive a compiler error saying:Error 14 The best overloaded method match for 'MongoDB.Driver.Builders.Update.Set(string, MongoDB.Bson.BsonValue)' has some invalid arguments
Obviously the Mongo driver will not let me update based on my own object (whether as IEnumerable or prefs.toList()), which seems a contrast from the way it permits me to insert or query with custom objects. Surely I am missing something obvious that would permit me to avoid deserializing, weakly typing then creating a generic BsonDocument!! TIA.
You can do an Update based on your own types! Have you tried using the typed Query and Update builders?
Try something like this:
var query = Query<AppointmentInfo>.EQ(i => i.ProviderId, userName);
var update = Update<AppointmentInfo>.Set(i => i.Prefs, info.Prefs);
Not sure I got the types and everything write from your partial code, but that should give you the general idea.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
I know this has been answered but I for one don't fully understand Roberts answer.
All I did is call the "ToBsonDocument()" method for it to except the object as a parameter
So:
customObject.ToBsonDocument()
If you have an array of objects inside a document:
var query = Query.EQ("_id", ObjectId.Parse(id.ToString()));
var update = Update.Push("ArrayOfObjects", customObject.ToBsonDocument());
collection.Update(query, update);
I have the following issue. I create a Zend_Select element and add multioptions in an array.
Zend automatically translates the options, after which my multioptions are sorted incorrectly.
Right now, my only option seems to be:
$element = $this->createElement("select", "name");
$element->setMultiOptions($myArray);
$options = $element->getMultiOptions(); // OPTIONS HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED HERE
asort($options);
$element->setMultiOptions($options);
Anyone know a better way to do this?
I usually always translate the options before sending them to the element :
$myArray = ...; // key/value array with values translated
asort($myArray);
$element->setMultiOptions($myArray);
But your solution looks just as good from my point of view.
I have a very simple mapping function called "BuildEntity" that does the usual boring "left/right" coding required to dump my reader data into my domain object. (shown below) My question is this - If I don't bring back every column in this mapping as is, I get the "System.IndexOutOfRangeException" exception and wanted to know if ado.net had anything to correct this so I don't need to bring back every column with each call into SQL ...
What I'm really looking for is something like "IsValidColumn" so I can keep this 1 mapping function throughout my DataAccess class with all the left/right mappings defined - and have it work even when a sproc doesn't return every column listed ...
Using reader As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
Dim product As Product
While reader.Read()
product = New Product()
product.ID = Convert.ToInt32(reader("ProductID"))
product.SupplierID = Convert.ToInt32(reader("SupplierID"))
product.CategoryID = Convert.ToInt32(reader("CategoryID"))
product.ProductName = Convert.ToString(reader("ProductName"))
product.QuantityPerUnit = Convert.ToString(reader("QuantityPerUnit"))
product.UnitPrice = Convert.ToDouble(reader("UnitPrice"))
product.UnitsInStock = Convert.ToInt32(reader("UnitsInStock"))
product.UnitsOnOrder = Convert.ToInt32(reader("UnitsOnOrder"))
product.ReorderLevel = Convert.ToInt32(reader("ReorderLevel"))
productList.Add(product)
End While
Also check out this extension method I wrote for use on data commands:
public static void Fill<T>(this IDbCommand cmd,
IList<T> list, Func<IDataReader, T> rowConverter)
{
using (var rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (rdr.Read())
{
list.Add(rowConverter(rdr));
}
}
}
You can use it like this:
cmd.Fill(products, r => r.GetProduct());
Where "products" is the IList<Product> you want to populate, and "GetProduct" contains the logic to create a Product instance from a data reader. It won't help with this specific problem of not having all the fields present, but if you're doing a lot of old-fashioned ADO.NET like this it can be quite handy.
Although connection.GetSchema("Tables") does return meta data about the tables in your database, it won't return everything in your sproc if you define any custom columns.
For example, if you throw in some random ad-hoc column like *SELECT ProductName,'Testing' As ProductTestName FROM dbo.Products" you won't see 'ProductTestName' as a column because it's not in the Schema of the Products table. To solve this, and ask for every column available in the returned data, leverage a method on the SqlDataReader object "GetSchemaTable()"
If I add this to the existing code sample you listed in your original question, you will notice just after the reader is declared I add a data table to capture the meta data from the reader itself. Next I loop through this meta data and add each column to another table that I use in the left-right code to check if each column exists.
Updated Source Code
Using reader As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
Dim table As DataTable = reader.GetSchemaTable()
Dim colNames As New DataTable()
For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows
colNames.Columns.Add(row.ItemArray(0))
Next
Dim product As Product While reader.Read()
product = New Product()
If Not colNames.Columns("ProductID") Is Nothing Then
product.ID = Convert.ToInt32(reader("ProductID"))
End If
product.SupplierID = Convert.ToInt32(reader("SupplierID"))
product.CategoryID = Convert.ToInt32(reader("CategoryID"))
product.ProductName = Convert.ToString(reader("ProductName"))
product.QuantityPerUnit = Convert.ToString(reader("QuantityPerUnit"))
product.UnitPrice = Convert.ToDouble(reader("UnitPrice"))
product.UnitsInStock = Convert.ToInt32(reader("UnitsInStock"))
product.UnitsOnOrder = Convert.ToInt32(reader("UnitsOnOrder"))
product.ReorderLevel = Convert.ToInt32(reader("ReorderLevel"))
productList.Add(product)
End While
This is a hack to be honest, as you should return every column to hydrate your object correctly. But I thought to include this reader method as it would actually grab all the columns, even if they are not defined in your table schema.
This approach to mapping your relational data into your domain model might cause some issues when you get into a lazy loading scenario.
Why not just have each sproc return complete column set, using null, -1, or acceptable values where you don't have the data. Avoids having to catch IndexOutOfRangeException or re-writing everything in LinqToSql.
Use the GetSchemaTable() method to retrieve the metadata of the DataReader. The DataTable that is returned can be used to check if a specific column is present or not.
Why don't you use LinqToSql - everything you need is done automatically. For the sake of being general you can use any other ORM tool for .NET
If you don't want to use an ORM you can also use reflection for things like this (though in this case because ProductID is not named the same on both sides, you couldn't do it in the simplistic fashion demonstrated here):
List Provider in C#
I would call reader.GetOrdinal for each field name before starting the while loop. Unfortunately GetOrdinal throws an IndexOutOfRangeException if the field doesn't exist, so it won't be very performant.
You could probably store the results in a Dictionary<string, int> and use its ContainsKey method to determine if the field was supplied.
I ended up writing my own, but this mapper is pretty good (and simple): https://code.google.com/p/dapper-dot-net/
